Default Anderson Extension Jamb Installation

Anderson phone support was a joke. I won't go into it.

Here's the jamb extensions:http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=53u72fm

Never used jamb extensions. Extensions ordered separate from window. No
paperwork with them. Anderson window instructions show a page about
installing them. Also some info on Anderson web site. All docs show a
solid flat side on all surfaces. Pic above shows a channel. Does channel
face the RO or the visable side?

If facing the RO, what purpose does it have other than to weaken and
promote splitting when nailed?

If facing the visible side all I can figure is to aid in nailing at an
angle...as well as to weaken and promote splitting when nailed?

If you ask me it will look like crap if it's visable. The channel at the
sill will end up being a collection place for any moisture/condensation.
Window going in bathroom. Inside/outside temp difference can be 90-100
degrees mid-winter. Let's not go off on a tangent about ventalation fans,
opening doors and all that.

Thanks,
