It attaches to this 2 x 4, actually the front edge of it. But in order for that to happen, we're going to have to cut away a strip of this siding, about 2 and a half inches wide.
Okay, Jenny, what we're going to do is start building up this bottom sill here 'cause it's a little bit low right now. I'm going to pull it out, okay.
So we're going to nail this in place -- well, we could use a hammer and nail. After a quick lesson on using a butane power nail gun, Jenny has forsaken hammer and nails and gets to work.
Okay, set that gun right over there. I'm going to give you a, a little bit smaller gun, right here, same idea and we're going to start putting some pieces on the top now. This is a piece of shim actually, just a spacer. Now we're ready to begin cutting away the siding.
This small hand-held cordless power saw is lightweight and easy to handle. Jenny finishes off the cut and the siding is easily removed. Now to make sure that our new garden window is watertight, we'll be using two materials -- caulking, which we'll be putting on later and this. This is waterproof flashing paper. We fold the flashing paper back over the siding and tape it down to make way for the fin around the edge of the window. Next, Jenny spreads a heavy bead of silicone caulk around the edge of the opening.
This will give us a good seal between the window fin and the framing. At last, we're ready for the garden window. It's quite heavy. So Jenny's next door neighbor, Gary, helps me lift it into place.
Jenny adds another bead of caulk. Then we remove the tape and fold the flashing paper on top of the fin and trim off the excess with a utility knife. On top of the paper, we place strips of wood, filler strips that will provide a nailing surface for the new trim.
A final bead of caulk, four pieces of trim and our garden window installation is complete. You like your window, huh?
They allow you to have your flowers and herbs literally at arm's length, provide ample natural light and make any room feel larger. Put up a quality box-shaped garden window, also known as a greenhouse window, to bring in more natural light, make the room feel larger, and bring part of your garden within arm's reach in the kitchen.
This model boasts dual-paned glass to maintain your heating and cooling comfort and dollars and makes the ideal setting for indoor herbs and plants. Remove the sliding glass panel in the old window, grasping it with both hands, lifting it up and pulling the bottom outward off the old window track. Remove the screens the same way. Remove the center brace and remaining fixed panel as part of the greenhouse window project. Use a hammer and small pry bar to loosen the center brace.
Lift the fixed panel off its track as you did for the sliding portion. Loosen the exterior trim around the garden window opening, first scoring the heavy paint sealing the trim before levering the trim with the pry bar. The trim on the top, bottom, and both sides must be removed. Pre-cut the caulk that seals the aluminum window frame. Tap with a wood block and hammer from the inside to break the seal and loosen the window frame for removal.
It will not be used in the greenhouse window installation. Drive the small prongs of a nail remover under the nails holding the old wooden window frames. Lever the heads until the nails can be extracted with the larger prongs. Remove the frames which are not required for the greenhouse.
Build up and finish the interior edge of the window opening that will be visible through the new greenhouse window. Cut away the wooden siding to expose the front edge of two-by-fours at the window's perimeter. The nailing flange of the new greenhouse window will be secured to the front edge of the two-by-fours. Waterproof the greenhouse window opening with flashing paper and caulk, inserting the flashing paper behind the sheathing, folding the edge back over the siding and taping it temporarily.
Caulk generously along the wooden edge of the opening. Insert the garden window into the opening and secure it with rust-proof screws driven through the nailing flange into the two-by-four framing beneath. Caulk the edges. Remove the tape and fold the flashing paper over the nailing flange. Finish the edges of the greenhouse window, nailing filler strips over the nailing strip to provide a nailing surface for the new trim.
Caulk the backs of the trim and secure them in place. Paint to match. Not everyone is in a position to do a project themselves.
