I would like to do some craftsman trim around alot of my windows. I have looked at videos and browsed alot of books and they all seem to start with the window frame exposed as a starting point.
Below is a pic of one of my windows. I can tell the sill and sides are plastic but based on my stud finder, they are surounded by about 4 inches of something solid all the way around the window.
If I am going to do some trim, do I have to expose the studs or wood beams and start from there or can I just build onto this and glue/nail right through this sheathing. I plan on probably using poplar and painting them white.
Should I frame the interior sides and top of the window? or just frame the window with the trim.
Thnx...Steve
