1
We covered the frame in brown paper which symbolizes lining the walls with sizalation. We had to tape it on in a way so theres no way rain can get in. (just overlapped it the bottom sheet underneath.)

We put the window frame in, plumbed it up using some pieces of packer and nailed it in place.

Cladding was the next step. we covered the whole outside of the frame, butting the ends straight into the frame so that the top of the cladding boards are flush with the outside of the frame.

The next step was the nosing. We checked that in so it sat hard up to the sill, leaving 80mm horns on both sides for the architrave to run into. i got the router out and dressed it up a bit.then gave it a light sand.

Then we had to make up the window jambs that allow somewhere for the architrave to be nailed from the inside. We arrissed the edge facing inwards so it would look good if it was painted.

Timber for jambs(needed plaining to width),

nails

Once the jambs were secured It was time to cut the double bullnose architrave. I made sure I came in 10mm from the edges than it was just 45degree cuts on the dropsaw which is easy and then nailed on. i gave the mitres a bit of a sand and it was ready to go.
