What happens here

Once the side pieces are installed, measure the horizontal (top and bottom) distances between the installed side trim pieces. Transfer these measurements to the new trim material. Use a saw to cut the top and bottom pieces to the exact length. As before, utilize a framer's square to ensure that your cuts are perfectly straight, as precise cuts are essential for tight joints.

Goal: Accurately measure and cut the horizontal pieces of new window trim

Tools and materials

  • Framer's Square — Ensuring straight and accurate cuts
  • Skill Saw — Cutting the new trim pieces
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the width of the window opening
  • New Trim Material — Replacing the old damaged trim

Okay, now I got the two side pieces done. I'm going to measure and cut the top and bottom. I'm just going to use a framer square just to make sure my cuts are straight.
