How to Trim a Basement Window
Finish carpentry is the art of making rough stuff look good. Even trimming a window can be a challenge because it’s usually complicated by poorly aligned framing or uneven drywall. If things go well, you can tenderize the drywall with a hammer or shim the window into alignment. If not, the window jambs might need to be planed, the casing tweaked, or the miters back-beveled at odd angles.

Build a Deep Extension Jamb
Montana builder and remodeling contractor Chris Whalen displays his method for building out jambs to accommodate windows in thick walls. The window stool needs to be wide enough to get past the drywall while leaving room to scribe the final fit. To get the stool deep enough, glue and biscuit an extension to the profiled stool, keeping the two parts flush on top.
