What will be the depth of the buck, and what is to be the difference in height from the front sidewalk to the top of the garage foundation wall?

  1. 203 mm (8") bucks and 289 mm (11N") of height change.

  2. 203 mm (8") bucks and 492 mm (19N") of height change.

  3. 305 mm (12") bucks and 289 mm (11N") of height change.

  4. 305 mm (12") bucks and 492 mm (19N") of height change.

The correct answer is: 305 mm (12") bucks and 289 mm (11N") of height change.

The depth of the buck is dependent on the height of the garage foundation wall, as the buck needs to extend past the foundation wall in order to properly support and frame the window. Therefore, the options with the higher height change (B and D) are incorrect, as a smaller buck depth would not be able to accommodate such a large change in height. Additionally, option A is incorrect as it has a smaller buck depth compared to option C, which could potentially cause issues with window installation and overall stability.
