What happens here

The existing patio door is removed. The exterior siding is then marked with a red laser line to guide the cut for the new, larger window opening. A cordless angle grinder is used to precisely cut through the vinyl siding along the marked line. The cut sections of siding are then carefully removed to reveal the old particle board sheathing underneath.

Goal: Create a larger opening in the exterior wall for increased natural light.

Because why would I make a hole if I don't have a window yet? Stupid. Beauty. Nice, huh? Oh. Oh , you...Look how lucky we are. Cat 9 cable and low power cable are installed here. And it was just an inch below my cut line. Here's the wood from the barn. There's no need to tear down the entire barn. You can simply buy an old house and reuse the wood . I thought it was aged wood, and wondered: if it was sealed and covered, why did it look so good? But after tearing off a piece, it turned out to be particleboard, which was used in 1978. It's amazing that they had such a product, and now that I'm tearing it apart, there 's probably asbestos in there, as luck would have it. God, I love this tool belt. I've always hated wearing belts, but when you find the right one, this one is super comfortable. Seven- seven, open up. Look, now this thing will just go...No , that's why I put it. I am crushed. The channel is over. Watch how you hit him. No. Okay, let's make a new frame and then install all our racks. Is there a name for
