Windows

We have been putting in windows, but not posting pictures, so here are some:
This window was designed to be vertical, but we are installing it on it's side. I think it work.


Here we are framing out the curved window:



Here we are preparing to put in a door:



Here is the north window, installed (but without flashing tape yet):



Here is the north window from the inside:

we got rain before I put on the flashing tape, and water came in. I guess caulking the flange wasn't good enough. I was always planning on using the tape, but I'm hoping that the flashing tape is just another level of safety, and isn't really needed...but I guess the caulk wasn't good enough. I'll probably try to fix the caulk, and then tape it.

Here is the door sill after I've bolted it down, and painted it.

See, the door assembly is thicker than the wall, so I want it to hang out beyond the trailer a bit, but the threshold of the sliding door needs support, if people are walking on the edge. So, I got a scrap of metal angle, and bolted it to the metal trailer frame, though the subfloor. I painted the bolts and nuts. The bolt heads will stick up out of the red sill, and into a groove in the bottom of the aluminum door frame, which will help keep it all in place.
