Windows! Finally!

Trudging slowly toward my goal of drying in the cabin before this winter.  Before I can insulate the gaps and chink, I need the doors and windows in.  I've taken my first steps towards that with this window.  I used 4 x 12 doug fir.  Love the look, but would not use doug fir again.  Way too heavy and unmanageable.

Suggestion to anyone at this stage:  Adjust your window heights so the tops and bottoms of your window openings fall in the gaps between logs.  Cutting horizontally through logs with all that rebar is worse than a root canal -- without novacaine.
