Avoid Mistakes: How to Properly Install Windows & Doors in BillyOh Log Cabin

Fitting the Windows and door into the frame, finally much more water tight.

This is the eleventh part of documenting my huge project to build a garden studio/workshop.

My longest video so far, but this one needed to be. Fitting these windows and doors by yourself, is not easy and very confusing, you will see the confusion, DONT follow the instructions for the hinges, see my tip for those to adjust better! Building a BillyOH Winchester Log Cabin 5x3m
