I just thought I would make a video on how I cased our windows and trimmed them out, this is about as simple as it gets. This could be a good method for you aren't sure you want to do it yourself.

    This was just what we needed thank you so much and great job. We needed simple and you delivered. Not a bunch of lingo we didn't understand or complicated angles or cuts.

    This really helped. I am a new homeowner and beginner at everything. Had new windows installed and one of them had no trim and need to do myself. I have all the tools. Just want to keep it simple. Thank you.

    Not bad , looks a lot better than just sheet rock return. I always build a window stool makes for a lot fancier looking job. Next time if you're going to trim your windows that way cut everything to fit fasten it all together ( prefab it ) then just place them in the window and nail your trim to the wall. If you have several windows it will save you some time. Good luck and well done job

    Nice simple job. Regarding nailing the side trim pieces (around 5:04) I have seen some videos suggest that a small nail (like you used) is best for the inside (attaching the side face piece to the edge of the side leg of the casing) but a longer, thicker nail should be used on the outside of the trim where you are nailing through the trim piece and drywall into the stud underneath. Dunno if it makes much of a difference, just thought I'd mention it.

    Not sure what color you painted but hopefully you used a liberal few coats of shellac based primer over those knots. Knotty pine will bleed through everything.

    Just measure your sides plus 1/8th and put the 45 mitres on those lines. Then nail them up and measure the opening thats left. Or you could just build it before putting it up.
