Frame screw in 45 stud

[Strixx]

Hello...

I have discovered an issue when I'm now going to install windows in my construction project.

I have standing 120 studs in the wall, and then horizontal 45 inside. When I install the window, I want it to be in line with the interior wall. But then the frame screw will be in the internal 45 studs.

Will it work, or is there a risk that they might crack?

Shouldn't be a problem as long as 45 is seated and you're reasonably in the middle.

You can always try on a piece and/or pre-drill.

When I install the window, I want it to be in line with the inner wall.

I would like to have the window in line with the outer wall?

It won't crack!

That's one way to do it, but it's not right...

All jokes aside. The reason I want the window in line with the interior wall is to match the style of the main house.

But maybe it doesn't matter that much... Hmm... Now I'll have to think about this all day... Maybe it would actually be easier to align it with the exterior wall.... :-/

think, think, think...

Right and right. The good thing about this is that there is no right or wrong. Kind of like the tiles I put in my brother's kitchen yesterday - they had such a weird shape (10 tiles with asymmetrical edges) that it was impossible to place them straight. Therefore, no one can say I placed the tiles crookedly either... I think.

It's probably best to do it in the same style as the rest of the house. But normally you try to avoid loopholes in the facade...

Wedge up the windows and drill with the frame drill
through the window into the 45.
This way, you get a drilled hole that fits the frame screw
without cracking.
