In today’s video, I will show you how to remove an integral nailing fin from a window using two different methods. While it’s clear that using a utility knife is the best method, I cover a second option using an oscillating tool for those who need it. I also show the damage it can cause if you’re not perfect or if you don’t protect it.
I also talk about how buying overstock windows from auction sites or online sellers can save you thousands of dollars. I talk about what scenarios this might apply to, and how you can take steps towards making it work for your custom house. I go into the design details of how I placed a random assortment of 8 windows into my house design and enhanced it with a few additional windows. I even spend some time talking about rhythm and composition of design.
To my OG subscribers, thank you for sticking around and get ready for a whole new adventure. If you’re new here, welcome! This channel will be changing rapidly over the next year as I transition from a documentary travel series to a design vlog, then again to a DYI renovation series once the house is built. I have several years of videos planned out, so hit that subscribe button today.
Over the next several months, I’ll share my design inspiration – modern, clean, minimal – and show the evolution of the house design. I’ll talk about inspirational kitchen design and how to get the most out of your budget. I’ll share tips on how to design your bathroom to feel like an upscale spa, and how to balance minimalism with creative elements. I’ll even go into the technical details of designing electrical plans and how to select mechanical equipment for efficient solar use. I’m especially excited to talk about how my autism and sensory processing disorder is influencing the design and how we can all design better flowing homes.
