Installing a Mahogany Windowsill Video

In this episode, Bob and Chris Vila are installing a Mahogany windowsill. It has been precut with a cleat and bevel to make the installation easier. The sills are large enough to be shelves, a nice characteristic of older construction techniques. Bob helps carpenter Abel Lopez of Two Trees Development install a piece of pre-primed Poplar molding to the floor edge with a butane-powered finish nailer and a wood adhesive. To aid in the construction timeline many trim pieces in this job are precut and pre-primed from the lumberyard. In the closet, Lopez is attaching shelving and trim as a closet organizer. As a nod to mid-century home design, Birch colored, hollow-core, flush sliding closet doors are added. They are easy to install and don't require the framing of a standard door or the complex installation of a pocket door.
