Elevation of Window ShowingOutside Trim 229 218 CARPENTRY boarding attached to the studding; D is the wall covering of shinglesor clapboards; and E is building paper which must be placed betweenthe outside boarding and the wall covering. It will be noticed thatthe under side of the sill is ploughed to receive the shingles or clap-boards and that it projects out over the wall line a distance of about1 inch, so as to let rainwater drip to the ground without touchingthe wall. This figure shows the simplest sort of sill, such as wouldbe used only for very cheap work. In more important work it iscustomary to add another piece, called an apron, under the pro-jecting part of the sill, as shown in Fig. 306, where A is the apron,B is the sill, and C is the wall covering. The purpose of the apronA is to cover the joint between the wall covering and the sill and togive it a finished appearance. Fig, 307 shows a section taken through.
