What happens here

Begin by measuring the vertical sides of the window opening where the new trim will be installed. Use a tape measure for accurate dimensions. Transfer these measurements to your new trim material and use a skill saw to cut the pieces to size. A chop saw can provide straighter, more precise cuts, especially for longer pieces.

Goal: Cut the new vertical trim pieces to the correct length.
