Re: How do I make this window square?
Thanks for the advice. I cut everything back out and shimmed up one side. Everything looks much better now, as far as the the reveal and meeting rails go. In order to get everything squared up, the top left of the replacement window frame is basically pushed all the way up against the top left jamb,...

Cold weather window caulk recommendations

Help installing new OKNA windows.
Hi all, I've been reading this board for a while, just recently registered. I just purchased some new (replacement not new construction) OKNA 500 windows and am about to try and install them myself. They will be replacing older, wooden double hung. The double hung windows are already removed. I have...
