Trimming Out the Double-Hung Windows Video

Bob Ryley and carpenter Pat Cloutier trim out the two banks of four double-hung windows in the sunny dining area. Each bank of windows is treated as if it were one window unit and then they'll put a mullion strip where they all meet. They start with the sill and then move on to the header piece. With such a long run of windows, it's more reliable to attach the horizontal pieces first and then do the verticals. They measure and cut each vertical individually to fit. The job goes more smoothly when you have one person to measure and another to make the cuts.
