Window Strips 3/12/2012

Strips of weather board with a half round curve at the top were ripped at 43mm, they had to be checked out into the weather and lay flush uo against the window frames. Laying the strips next to the window frame, a nail was tacked in at the bottom to keep it still. An off cut of weather board no shorter than 300m was used to mark out the measurements. Laying the off cut flat against the wall and hard up against the strip, we marked from top to bottom (end product looks like a lightning bolt) The little straight bits were then cut with a jigsaw, the long angle parts were cut with the band saw. Wed then go back and sit it into position, sitting it flush and marking out where it would check into the window flashing and flush with the bottom. Both sides of the window had to be done all around the house. Doing this will stop rain and moisture entering from the side of the windows.
