How to Replace Exterior Door Trim
To build out new front door trim and plinth blocks, Nathan used flat PVC stock in 1×10″ boards. For the plinth blocks, Nathan used flat PVC stock in 1×4″s boards. For decorative elements, Nathan used stock PVC head casing above the door, stock PVC profiles under the header, and fluted trim to the left and right of the door. Stock PVC can be found at home or lumber centers. To attach the PVC to the exterior, Nathan used stainless steel brad nails and two-part PVC glue.
To cut the PVC, Nathan used a sliding compound miter saw, which is manufactured by Dewalt [https://www.dewalt.com/].
Under the PVC, Nathan used Henry Blueskin [https://henry.com/] VP100 Self-Adhered Water Resistive Air Barrier Membrane [https://amzn.to/3P3NX4g].

The top of the fluted trim looks off. If the fluted trim is the "column", it would look better if it had a moulding that represented the capital of the column.
Also, you would want the header piece to extend no further than the edge of the fluted trim.

How many times is she going to say "right?" Annoying!
This is great like all the others!!
As far as external trim, I can't figure out why PVC didn't become more popular years ago. I love wood but it is not what should be used outdoors.
Painting kitchen cabinets is propably the most american thing ever … 🤦♂🤦♂ besides PVC trim and boards …
I loved that door at the end of the show. It was a very nice transformation – Nathan did nice work with that homeowner!
10:34 you do realize that degreasing and after that sanding.. .is not making any sense since sanding is taking everything off regardless ? But hey you guys are the experts…you don’t know what you are doing… and is funny that you are explaining it without understanding any of it!
13:32 Mauro ..said this multiple times… “preparation, preparation..and more preparation “ Kevin failed on the cabinet… He could easily mask the edges….to make everything easier….fail again!
22:29 quite a big fail there ! She should also add something to cover that entrance….
Mauro is the best painter this old house has ever had, what a pro!
That door is beautiful.
However lets not gloss over that is AT LEAST $800 on those horses
This video is published in March. The landscaping help is a little outdated to be relevant information… TOH can do better!
4:28 Wahhhh???
All the houses in that area have those nice shutters preventing damage to the windows in a storm.
Maybe one of the few times the final painting result actually looks better than the initial. I expected them to paint the cabinets with some dark blue or dark green color but they surprised me this time 🙂
4:27 We all wanna get rid off brown things! But they are keep comming back…Build the wall!!!
What if you use gravel for your beds. I'd hate to have to clean bark mulch or leaves out of them in the spring if used to protect them. What else could be used for rock/gravel beds to protect plantings?
Lightly sanding between paint coats will give a smoother finish if you're brushing instead of spraying.
You are showing us how to protect our gardens in winter in March? Winter is basically over! Bad timing.
For the cabinets, are you using a roller and then smoothing out the stipple with a brush on the large surfaces? I’m confused
Great tip on refurbishing ur own kitchen cabinets & laat clip diy work on front porch omating
