re: Replacing windows DIY

Looking to take on a DIY project, replacing all of my windows.

I have done a few isolated windows the past year, but had some trouble flashing in where my aluminum siding is.

My house is a mix of siding (back) and brick (front)

Is this a project worth going DIY route? I figure I could do one to two windows a weekend for about 10 weeks and get them all knocked out.

Any good resources or videos for this? Most the videos on line haven't been good with the flashing. I ended up with pretty big caulk gaps around one of the windows I did.

This is very specific and may not apply. If so just please ignore.

In Utah we have basements with windows in older homes, and the design called for window wells and larger windows. I rented a mini backhoe and dug the wells. Easy peasy. I also had to rent a 25lb saw with a special blade(s) for two weekends to cut through all the contrete for the windows. It was dusty and dirty too. Ranks up there with the hardest physical labor I've ever done. Would not do again.
