Clear as mud!

[@berlinbuilds]

Haha, perfect!

[@christianbrooks6331]

What did you do at the jamb and head throat? Just paint the drywall returns?

[@berlinbuilds]

Yep. Super easy.

[@SaifPainter]

Nice 👍👍👍

[@berlinbuilds]

Thanks!

is that assuming that same board has stayed in the house a week before acclimating to the normal inside temps? why not just leave a 1/8" on on cut for 1/16" on both sides to fit easier and give a small room for any expansion since those sills get warm and cold? I do like how tight it is but arent you going to silicone them anyways? We all spill our plant water/coffee there eventually :P

[@berlinbuilds]

Yes these boards had sat for probably close to two weeks when I did them. I guess you could leave a gap. I just like having it tight so the painter wants to keep following you and the homeowner doesn’t panic.

[@Hedgehodge-]

@@berlinbuilds yeah normal homeowners don't know about expansion and then freak out. Looks good. I always thought that overhang went through the wall since most homes have 20 layers of paint over it hah. That's the apron ?

[@berlinbuilds]

For sure! I'm pretty sure that piece is called the sill. The apron is the casing piece underneath (at least that's what I've always called it and I've been self-taught in a few aspects, so my terminology is somewhat questionable at times).

did you say 46 1/4 "minus" ? what does the "minus" mean?

[@0xSol_Invictus]

nm now I hear you saying 9/16 "plus" so I guess it means just barely below or above a measurement

[@berlinbuilds]

I use it for 32nd of an inch. If the measurement is the space between 1/4” and 5/16”, I usually just say “1/4 plus” instead of calculating the 32nds of 9/32nds 👍

[@will-jamtv5580]

Jeeeez… Just use millimetres. It’s so much easier 😄

[@berlinbuilds]

Well, I think I would die a little inside if I did!
