Yup,...I will be taking alot of pics. We've done quite a few projects to this house so far,....and several more on the list. btw - Jd - You in Lville? I grew up there....

Yup. I have seen that video awhile back. And it all makes perfect sense! The only obvious difference ofcourse is that in the video he is applying to wrapped sheathing, and I dont have that. SO I will be installing my nailing flange directly to the exterior T1-11 on my...

yes,...your 2nd post makes sense to me (well...im sure it makes sense,...I jsut might be having trouble following :-) Normally: The T1-11 would be removed. Then the opening cut into the sheathing underneath...the window is installed onto this (from the outside)..and the flange nailed...

If they look OK,..and work fine,...then I would keep them Anderson windows are highly regarded. Maybe there is someplace else to put that $$......

Why do you want to replace them? leaking? Wont open? Problems? Age doesn't necessarily indicate a problem,......I'm old, and certainly don't need replacing ;-)

jd - Whoaa......are you suggesting I install the window from the OUTSIDE? With the nailing flange on top of the T1-11 (from the outside??) Then flash it and cover it all up with trim?? That seems a bit odd to me,...I just assumed this really needed to be isntalled from behind the T1-11...

Interesting,....I read through it all.....and I am probably missing something,...BUT it appears all your info relates to the flashing of the window to the underlayment sheathing, and then siding on top. In my situation I do not have underlayment....I am preparing for the situation (when I open...

Sorry... Anderson basic double hung window. Was going to buy new construction with nailing flange..... Again,.....IF I have sheathing I will just rough in the opening from the inside, cut my sheathing exact,...remove the T1-11....put the window in, nail through sheathing, do all the...

OK,....greetings all. Going to be putting in a new window into an existing wall. (no window there now). My question is this,...I havent gone inside the wall yet,...BUT the exterior of the home is T1-11, and I fear that this is the only siding,...no sheathing underneath. If this is the...

Hmmmm.......this may complicate things. Handyguys method sounds good,....but it seems I may need a little more work in the framing to achieve this? - Remove drywall from interior - Determine window opening, frame kingstuds, header...etc..etc...to create rough opening. - Cut exterior T1-11 to...

Thanks! That sounds interesting as well! I feel like this house has sheeting covering the studs and then the T1-11. But I am note sure and will check. Sounds like either way, I can basically cut a nominal amount of T1-11, and then use flashing, caulk and trim to seal it all up. Ofcourse...

Very true. I am also excited by the fact, if I pull this off, I would save the $1000, the local contractors want to do this. (and that is with me providing the window). And there are 3 windows we want to add,.....this would save alot of $$$ if I can DIY. Thanks again all!

Thanks guys! Guyod - That is a very good question! I assume I have something under the T1-11, but I am not 100% certain at all. Could you actually just wrap the framing and then use T1-11 as your only exterior surface? They actually build that way? (I'm obviously a noob at construction)...

Greetings all, alot of good info here! I couldnt find anything related to my exact situation though so hopefully someone can help. I am planning on adding a regular double hung window into our house. The house is stick built, with T1-11 wood siding. I understand the process pretty well...
