What happens here

Place the newly cut bottom trim piece, ensuring it fits snugly between the two side pieces. Secure it with the siding nail gun. Repeat this process for the top trim piece. Before permanently nailing the top piece, double-check that both ends are perfectly lined up with the vertical trim. If it's slightly too long or short, remove and recut for a precise fit. Repeat all installation steps for any additional windows.

Goal: Secure the horizontal trim pieces to complete the window frame.

my cuts are straight. First window done. Now, we're going to be working on the second window. Going to do the two the top and bottom and then the two sides or actually the two sides and then the top and bottom. When you get this thing ready to nail, just make sure you look at one end. Make sure that end is lined up on that end. Check the other end make sure that even if it's a little bit too long, make sure you take it down and recut it.
