FWIW, before I looked it up I always thought it was sill and that is the usage I'd continue with even given the cill variant, which looks odd to me. Each to their own though.
cills or sills????

Well, it's either this or staring out the window...
Actually, even with this, Boxa.net, Renntech, Porsche-1.net and a couple others plus some personal admin it's still mostly staring out the window...

Before decimalisation brought in a new penny and new, rather stiff pronunciations, the sum of three pence was usually pronounced either "thripp'nce", "thrupp'nce" or "threpp'nce", the distinction perhaps being geographical. Likewise, the coin was usually referred to in conversation as a "thripp'ny bit" (or a "thrupp'ny bit", etc.).

I asked my mum what she called her "thrupp'ny bits" and I got a cuff round the ear [&:]

Don't you mean 'cilly'
Perhaps we should consult a member from the Isles of Scilly?

Personally I never recall seeing that much joinery or masonary on the side of a porsche!!!
Just looking through some plans I have recently commissioned the architect there has not used the word Cill or Sill
He has just pointed out "hard wood lower window finishers" maybe he had a problem with spelling too!!!
John, was that Longman book a Uk print??
Cheers

] You might want to consider commissioning someone who knows what he is talking about. []Interesting question . Apparently I have a 1981 second impression Published in the UK by Longman Group Limited, of Burnt Mill, Harlow. It was typeset in Leicester by Woolaston Parker Ltd and printed in Singapore by Selector Printing. It is published in the US by Longman Inc. New York.
I don't necessarily see the US interest as in the preface Frank Hilton states:-
"....While primarily intended for students preparing for City and Guilds examinations leading to an Advanced Craft Certificate in Carpentry and Joinery, student preparing for Institute of Builders examinations and TEC.........should, it is hoped, find this work useful..."
The above qualifications are all English, dimensions are in mm, colour is spelt colour and there isn't a # to be seen. Timber is timber not lumber and all costing examples are £'s.
Well, you did ask. [

You might also want to mention to him that timber from deciduous trees is hardwood, unless he just wants some wood which is hard. [
Hey John,
I mentioned this to him today and he said he specifically said Hard wood due to the area of the develoment in South London. He felt that soft wood would not be able to deal with the hoodies and thugs in the area. He therefore specified he wanted the wood to be able to look after itself. The sort of Charles Bronson of woods if you get the drift [
