    i have watched other videos on how to measure for replacement windows and they did not take off for sheetrock or the sill. What are the exceptions as I am not sure what the measurements are for. I had windows installed in a house before and they installed them over the sill and such (had aluminum windows with wood trim).

    Great tips. There’s always another inch or two that should be added consider the sill. Great video!
