With help from Chree, installed the five barn
window trim frames. Installed means: each
frame screwed into place with 20 Cortex® hidden fastening system screws,
Koma® plugs hammered into all 100 of the Cortex® screw
holes (Chree’s job), Phenoseal® vinyl adhesive white caulk applied
to the ¹⁄₁₆″ gap between all sides of each frame and the window casings (the
frames had been made ⅛″ too wide and tall to allow for that caulking), Geocel®
Pro Flex sealant / caulking applied to the top seam between the frame and the
wall sheathing, and drip edge nailed and taped into place. Then I quickly sanded the frames to ensure
the Cortex® screw hole plugs were perfectly flush with the trim
surface.
