Outside Window Trim

We finally had a weekend with some good weather so that we could go outside and put up the trim on the outside of the new windows. The whole thing had weather stripping placed around all of the openings so that is where we started.
First up was cutting the sill. This was a little more of a task then I thought it was going to be due to the fact that the 10' length does not fit up in the shop to run fully on the tablesaw. The sill was cut on the circular saw running along a fence.
Shims were applied in the spaces between the two windows.
Trim was added on both of the sides, no shims were needed in these cases.
Last up was the center trim and filling all of the nail holes. There is also one more piece that goes under the sill. I will install that tonight and get a coat of paint on it before the rain comes back.
