Repeat this process on their other side of the window until the window becomes parallel again. • Check the window for parallel by measuring the width of the window at the top, middle, and bottom. If the measurements aren’t equal, adjust the shims accordingly. • Nail the window and the shims to the rough opening using a nail gun. • Cut the excess from the shims off with a utility knife. • Fill the gap between the window and the rough opening with spray foam insulation designed for windows and doors. • Reattach the casing with wood glue and the nail gun.
