Cut Framing Members for Module 7b

Use two people to make the proper cuts at the dimensions in the graphics. Start by cutting elements for the window frame and the bottom plate, which are all square cuts (note there are two 2x4x2'9" members on edge at the top of the window box).

Cut the remaining vertical elements and top plate according to the dimensions in the graphic at a 17 degree angle on the miter saw.

Simultaneously, use the other two people in your group to assemble the framing pieces using two 3-1/8" construction screws per connection, screwing perpendicular to the bottom plate and top diagonal pieces.

Place the top two members of the window frame on edge flush with the outer faces of the vertical 2x4s. This will create a gap of approximately 1/2" between the two top pieces.
