What's the best way to install a new construction window in T-111 siding? If you just place the window against the siding you have all the grooves leading underneath the window flange on the top and bottom. I don't like the idea of just a caulk to seal things well, although maybe that is the practice.
I was thinking of trimming the rough opening with a 1 x 4. The T-111 would butt against this and the window would seal against the face of the 1 x 4. It still leaves you with lots of butt joints to caulk around the 1 x 4, but at least no grooves leading underneath anything.
