SUBSCRIBING TO A YOUTUBE CHANNEL DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING, BUT, THOSE OF US WHO CREATE CONTENT FOR OUR CHANNEL NEED SUBSCRIBERS TO CONTINUE CREATING VIDEOS FOR YOU! THANKS FOR WATCHING! Some of you requested a list of tools I used for this video, so here it is: Multi-Tool/Oscillating Saw: I used this to cut through layers of paint and caulk in order to get the window trim pieces off. (You can use a utility knife and small pry-bar if you don't have a multi-tool, but this is easier if you have layers of paint to cut through) . https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCS356B-Variable-Oscillating-Multi-Tool/dp/B07VBB55X5/ref=asc_df_B07VBB55X5?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80814196410701&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584413742319980&psc=1 Small Pry Bar: https://www.amazon.com/Bates-Scraper-9-5-Inch-Beekeeping-Equipment/dp/B09BVZVKV2/ref=sr_1_10?adgrpid=1333708166974787&hvadid=83356831141969&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=95445&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-83357098158728%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=1609_10485450&keywords=small+pry+bar&qid=1689019920&sr=8-10 12" Speed Square: https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-T0108-Square-Layout-Tool/dp/B000IOCJK2/ref=sr_1_2?adgrpid=1340305277419673&hvadid=83769292358393&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=95445&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-83769466061178%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=921_1014950883&keywords=12+speed+square&qid=1689022419&sr=8-2 Window Tape: https://www.amazon.com/MFM-WindowWrap-Self-adhering-Waterproofing-Membrane/dp/B07VCVN1NJ/ref=asc_df_B07VCVN1NJ?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920832001493&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520386573360&psc=1 Silicone Caulk: for sealing the outside of the window and anywhere the new window contacts the old window frame. https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-Silicone-1-All-Purpose-Windows-Doors-Exteriors-10-1-oz-White-Silicone-Caulk/5005330293 Painter's Caulk: Optional.
