Good product choice. In my research, the two best sealants that you can buy in normal stores are GE Supreme Silicone and OSI / LePage (Henkel) Quad Max. They are both significantly higher-performance than older, cheaper products. Quad Max is a modern descendant of polyurethane sealants, and it will stick well to almost anything, even if the surface has been prepared poorly. Supreme Silicone will stick slightly worse to some surfaces, but if it does stick, it will last longer than Quad Max over the decades.

Nice to see this house again. I like it because it's similar to mine. We even recently had to have someone come seal the boot for our sewer vent on the roof. My only question is: What do you use for areas that are under the soil line? my water line intrusion lets a bit of water drip into the basement whenever we get a lot of rain. Eventually, I'm going to have to dig down and seal it from the outside, but I can rarely find a definitive idea of what so use for that.

The knob on your front door is installed upside down. The cuts of the key should face up when being inserted in the lock cylinder. Otherwise, the tumblers stick up from the bottom and all the dirt blowing around ends up jammed in the tumblers resulting in premature failure.

I know you're showing caulking around the home but what about between slabs of concrete? My neighbor and I share a driveway. The grey fill between the slabs are literally coming out in pieces, weeds are getting in, maple seeds are getting stuck, seen some ants. What to use to refill after doing a good clean out?? Cheers and thanks. As a single female homeowner you have helped me learn so much. Hopefully after you retire your son will continue your work.

...I just replaced the rotted door sill at our side door entrance. The driveway was sunk near the door, so wayer would pool there. I fixed the driveway and slopped it away from the door. Then, I replaced the rotted sill with one i made out of concrete. Them fixed a crack in the foundation caused by the water pooling and seeping below the door.. installed a new, pre hung door. Ill be using the GE stuff. I had some old caulming kying around I was gonna use, but you convinced me otherwise. House was built in 1949. All of that was born out of me wanting to remodel the basement stairs, lol.

The only thing I will add, too often one will just cut the tip and many times, too large of an opening. Make your opening specific to how much of a line thickness , that will work. Obviously, too little is no good, and too large, is a waste, and a problem to tool. Finally, in my case, I take some sand paper, and lightly sand the cut on the outside edge, lightly curving it. You will find it hardly ever snags, and the tip runs easily along the line. Worked for me, the last 35 years. Your mileage may vary, practice helps, if you are doing it for the first time. Good video, later.

little trick from a pro i met once take shims sand them round in a variety of widths soak them in a dish soap water mix for an hour or more use those shims instead of your thumb or finger. makes a way nicer bead. grab a rag to clean them off and dip them and leave them soaking in the dish soap and water mix when you aren't using them.

Trick I've seen is using various size shoe molds or quarter rounds. Have like a few different options, round off, bevel and chamfer the ends. I guess it also works similar to shims. A bit more sturdy as my shims split and crack easily. Definitely seen the soaking and dish soap method

Another great video Jeff. I have a house a bit older than this one but with similar exterior finishings: the brick facade mixed with white aluminium siding.. I'm looking at all the re-sealing that needs to be done around the white aluminum siding and I'm starting to think it might be better to rip it off, fix and replace any water damaged wood inside, then re-wrap the sheating and go with cement fibreboard. It's a big investment but it seems like almost as much work as resealing aorund all that metal. What do ou think?
