Recessed windows does mean jamb extensions...after I posted I tried to edit - what about extending the jamb out an extra .75". You'd be glad when it is time to do siding that you don't have to do the jamb extensions.
This was a pretty terrible year weather-wise. We were getting snow on April 30th.. I was hoping it would balance out with a decent fall, but as soon as Oct 1 came we went straight from the 60s to the 40s.And it has been unbelievably wet over here too. Our fields are like a swamp, but as of today it's been so cold I think it's starting to freeze up..
If you did extend the jambs 3/4", you should have king studs next to the window that you can use structural screws to attach the furring strips.
Just wanted to say thanks for documenting this build so well, AND your thought process as you move along. Good to see what you're thinking about and what decisions you're making along the way.
I ordered two sets of the 3-5/8" Jamsills direct. They were very helpful.The Andersen instructions say to install a drip cap, but I can't seem to find them. I think they put that in their instructions so they have an excuse to void the warranty if they leak. I figure the first row of tape along the top of brickmould serves that purpose. No one will ever be looking down onto the brickmould.
