This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
I'm not replacing the outer stops, which are rather rough and still have some old paint. The new window pushes up against it from the inside, so the caulk would, I guess, create a seal between the stop and the window. Granted, I'll also caulk between the edge of the stop and the window on the outside so maybe it's not that necessary anyways. It's just what the installation instructions say to do.
I think I see -- yes, that would be a good place to caulk. Reno guys around here typically come from the outside, I was confused.
You could test fit and get your shims (at least the bottom) figured out first I guess, but I think you'll have lots of time. Probably don't need any super high performance caulk in there -- you should use pretty good product for the outer bead, so that space will be dry and dark.
