Trim Discussions

January 10, 2026

Liz and I planned for today to be a house day. But what started as some research into how to cut returns for a window stool… ended up being an all-day conversation.

We spent a long while looking over trim videos online, trying to track down how to measure/estimate the length needed to cut a return for a window stool.

From there, we worked on trying to get specific measurements – deciding on the amount of reveal we wanted for the window jambs, and how to best calculate our rough cut dimensions.

Liz, working with some of our old trim in situ. While we didn’t end up actually doing any work work, we did decide on a lot of things and got some updated measurements.
