2 OPENING PREPARATION
A. Inspect the existing window frame and repair or replace
any defective or rotted wood parts.
B. Clean the opening of any dirt, debris, or excess old
paint before proceeding.
C. Apply one piece of flashing tape to the sill of the
existing window. Cut the tape the same length as
the width of the existing window sill. Place one side
of the tape against the vertical leg of the stool, and
work the tape into the corner before applying to the
sill. Press down firmly. The tape will not cover the sill
depth completely under the new window.
Note: If needed, blocking/shims may need to be placed
where the existing balances were located.
