    Replacing a basement window
    I want to replace my basement windows with vinel windows
    I have the windows already and it says to install with 2 1/2 finishing nails through the frame.
    I thought they would come with predrilled holes to use screws.
    But all it says is to use the finishing nails.
    Do I use the nails or drill holes for screws?
    Where do I put the nails /screws so they are not visible?

    You can use roofing nails not screws. The screws will stick out and you will have a hard time putting trim around the window.
