Windows are all in but not without a hitch. When you buy surplus items, you have to take the good with the bad. The small bathroom window is designed for a 1 1/4" wall so its a little small for us and there is a little gap between the inside ring and the window. Its tight so no big deal other than looks. The flip side of that are our big windows. They are designed for a 2" wall so they are loose. We used shims to hold the windows tight to the outside body so the silicone will set in the right place. That's Matt in the wood shop learning how to make a 1/2" thick hickory window frame to replace the shims. The bottom corners will be rounded like the ring but the top square so we can do something to be determined with curtains later. Notice the snow melted as it got up to 50 degrees! Sweet, maybe the silicone will set up!
