Over the past week or so I have been working on the porch. I got all the siding on and painted. Today I started working on the windows. One of the things that makes this plan complicated is the fact that there is a triple window on the sunroom. Since there aren't any triple windows to buy, I had to bash it. I had a double window and a single window. I cut one side off each. The wood splintered when I cut it and the pieces did not fit together well. Also, my double window was a smidge shorter than the single. It looked terrible!
After some thought, I decided to cut off the top layer of trim on each piece. I cut a new piece to replace what I cut off and to cover the gap. Then I cut the pieces that went under the window off and replaced them with one solid piece.
There was a big gap on the inside that I had to fill with wood filler. Hopefully once it's all painted it won't look too bad.
