Let the sun shine in


I finished framing the new window this afternoon and tacking the trim back in place. Except for staining, the inside is done. I think it might have been harder than tearing out the old window and installing the new one. All the trim's got to fit just right or it ends up looking really sloppy, as, I fear, it looks to some extent now, but if I may say so it's not too bad for my first window.

Still have to cut the brick molding to fit and nail it in place around the outside. I spent about a half-hour scraping hardened caulk and flaking paint away from the rough edges. I'll make a double-check tomorrow evening and start cutting some molding if I have time. Hope to have everything nailed up and caulked before the end of the week.
