You made it look easy. I'm still a bit intimidated at the idea of this. It helps you already have it opened up and can show everything.

I hear ya, but it's really not that bad. A larger opening can be a challenge for sure. Shoring up the roof or second floor is a big one.

just make sure you reading that tape measure right side up. None of the tolerances are tight. You have a lot of room for small error. Re doing it not to much trouble either.

They don't require you to put felt paper or Tyvek in the window opening before installing the window?
@Askmediy

No, but you'll need to tape the window flange

How about felt or Tyvek on the house in general? You can also use weathershield roofing sealer in the window frame.

you don't need to put that tar tape on the bottom of the opening? Also, are you planning to "seal" this home? I know these old homes were made originally to "breathe". love your vids!

It is interesting in the fifties the window didn't need a header and now it needs a giant header. Seems pretty obvious there was no sag over the past 70ish years. I think i would have skipped it.

Sure you need it. But this video is to show how to frame the window opening bigger. Not how to install or replace. Watch my video on that.

Dont you need flashing around the window?

No not on newer windows. However, you do need something but that's going to really depend on what type of siding you'll be using. On any window I install I used a "Tar tape" Look for it in Home Depot

Oh god no, When I get to the siding I will show how to install a sealant tape over the flange. Using a caulk can be very bad. Can be!

1x6 plank external walls. They don't make them like that anymore! Addressing the insulation in the walls is going to be a challenge if you are going to meet modern standards.
