Jeff began reassembling some of the windows on which the stained had dried enough to handle... |
|
...while Bob got to work framing and trimming the window casings. |
We bought pressure-treated 1x6s to trim out the windows, and fastened the boards to the casing with finish nails. |

A closeup of how much we had to frame in one of the casings to get the opening down to rough-opening size. In this picture, we have nailed a 2x across the header, and a 2x with some 3/4 scrap along the side. |

The east casement window is framed in and trimmed. |
Bob works on the Utility Room window frame, making sure the top and side boards are plumb with the wall before securing. |
|
The Utility Room window is now framed in and trimmed. |
A look at both casement window openings. |
|
Next it was time to set our first window. We decided to try the easiest one to handle - the double-hung for the Utility Room. |
Jeff checks the window for level from the outside. |
|
Bob tacks the window in place with a finish nail in each top corner of the brick moulding. |
Using a putty knife to remove the jamb liners... |
|
...so the window frame can be screwed to the casing. Bob used his impact driver with headlight for this job. |
Putting the jamb liners back in. |

Our first window is in! |
