the window before trim
the trim laid out on the kitchen table so we could nail the corners together before we put it in place. because of the cabinets and sink theres no way to nail the corners together once its in place.
the blue arrow shows the teeny little nail pounded partway in. we predrilled the hole with a smaller drillbit to help prevent fracturing the skinny trim.
we also glued the corners together
tada! window trim in place. you can see how there wouldnt have been room to reach the corners to nail.
i fucked up pounding one of the nails in and bent it over. i had to pull it out and try again. the second hole i drilled managed to line up exactly with a nail holding the sheetrock underneath to the studs in the wall behind it. so of course that nail wouldnt pound in at all. third times the charm, ugh. i dont know if wood filler will work on plastic/polystyrene trim. i went with this trim because its over the sink and will get splashed and i dont want it to rot. the new kitchen window is plastic/vinyl and wont rot either.
but the window trim is done! still needs caulking though.
