Mitred corners

9 May 2017

On with the fancy woodwork.  Each of our window boxes: 20mm plywood constructs that fix to the house frame and support the window frame on the outside of the bales, need interior trims to mask the various-sized gaps between box and frame.  The gaps have been stuffed with insulation, and once the trims are in, the box can be painted.

 Dave presses on with the external frames - the gap on the left is the one under construction, the orange one on the right is next to be done

 

 I set out my corner-mitre-ing equipment ...

 and measure up for a little window to practice on

 This is a close up of the gap between the plywood box and the orange-painted frame, stuffed with fluffy insulation - reused polyester pillow innards.

 Some time later - the gap has been covered with mitred trim, and everything has been painted white.  A lot more light is reflected in when this is done.
