I am helping my daughter finish their basement. I need some ideas on how I can make the transition where the window frame is short due to the extra thick walls. It’s about 8” from where the window frame stops to the face of the 2 x 4 (where drywall will be attached). I’m not looking for a “fine woodworking” solution since I’ll be limited to a miter saw & Track saw.
I’m leaning towards just butting the drywall up to the window frame, then caulking that seem…but something tells me that caulking will eventually separate. Using some 1x10’s to butt up to the window frame doesn’t seem much better. Maybe cover the seem with a 1/4x1-1/2 trim board?
let me know your thoughts.
