Hi all,

I'm doing an install of a wall thimble in an existing wall...anyone want to share some detailed pics of their install? Things I'm looking for include how much you cut the drywall away (and in a square or circle), how you dealt with the framing, and how to deal with siding. I've read the installation instructions, but I'm more of a visual learner, hence the request for pics. Thanks!
