Hello,

Not a full woodworking question but this group has a lot of good ideas

I am replacing my 20 year old wooden windows with new construction
windows. Basically the entire existing window comes out, new window goes
in. My issue is that some of the rough openings may need to be about a
1/8 inch bigger on either side. 1/4 total increase. I have used a belt
sander and 60 grit paper for the first one. Took just a few minutes to
do. About 3 hours to clean up afterwards. About two days of silence
from my wife after that.

Anyone have any ideas how I can reduce the cleanup time? I am OK with
the time for the job and the silence part after that.

2 x 6 studs if that matters
to get a smaller window I would have to get custom made or one that is
4" thinner.

1/8" on each side? Have you tried a 3 lb. mini sledge?
