Hi All,
A while ago my builder and I halted our renovations due to a lack of funds. We fitted a tall narrow stained glass window, which my Mum made, in between the timber frame (studs). Until now, I've just filled in the gap around the window frame with paper towels and packing tape on the outside to block the weather and insects.
So, I'd like to install a simple hardwood frame; could you please help me understand what to do here? What wood can I buy from Bunnings? I would just like to get a hardwood plank cut up and have the two sides plus the top and bottom screwed into place, painted and caulked. Do I put screws in through the external window frame to the studs as well as into the stained glass window frame, just the stained glass frame, or just the studs? Do I remove the chock once I have other sides screwed into place?
I will paint the raw cement sheet before installing the frame.
Thanks,
Jason
Hi All,
I'm happy with the status of the window frame; for now it is finished. Thank you all so much for your help and advice, I couldn't have done it without your guidance. Next project is a new front door, then the following project is steps off our back deck.
Cheers,
Jason
Hi @JacobZ
Finally put the deck back together today, so I thought I'd add another picture to see more context of the window and where it's located. The steps that I've mentioned are the second next project, are going to go from the middle of the deck in the photo out to the right hand side where the little frog is against the post.
Pay no attention to the tools and stuff packed up inside the double glass doors, that's a downside of living in renovations!
Hello @BoeingFan (Jason)
That window looks fantastic! The trim has given it a very nice finish and now looks like a picture frame. I did not realize that you had a deck there and it just looks wonderful. It must be so nice to sit outside with a warm drink in your hand and watch the stars roll by.
