Any help regarding replacement of a window sill?

One of our window sills was damaged by critters (which thankfully are now gone!) Is this something that can just be "popped" off and replaced (as from home improvement store) or is there more too it? We're pretty handy around these parts if we have a general idea of what it is we're doing. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

1. The same thing happend to me. Try using a mold of some sort. Good Luck!


2. A window sill is simply a wood board you can buy and Home Depot or Lowes. Simply pry the old one off. Buy a new one. Cut it to size. You might need a jig saw to cut the corners at the bottom of the window. After cutting it to size, stain it if you need to and nail it in. Use wood puddy to cover the nail holes.

   You might need a table saw to trim down the overall width of the new sill board.

   Good luck!
