Thanks for the responses. Got it fixed. This is my first window unit. I
was putting it into a vinyl replacement window in the finished attic and I
had some kind of mental spasm when visualizing what a wooden casement window
looked like. I had to build a wooden base inside the vinyl lip. For some
reason I put it outside the first time. Possibly age...
