That is soooooo weird not seeing snow on the ground!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

How are the windows installed and sealed? My parents have a pole barn, and the windows leak around the outside frame. I'll have to figure out how to stop them from leaking before I finish the inside of the pole barn with drywall and put a roof in there. Forget about asking the guy to come back - it's been 4-5 years and he did such a bad job that I wouldn't want him working on it anyway. Too long of a list to go into.....

Scott, if you have an aluminum drip cap over the window and if the sides are completely chalked, the windows should not leak at all. R&R has done an awesome job on his building( too good to be called a pole barn) and has enough overhang that he does not need the drip caps.

Esshup, not to thread jack, but would the foam insulation in a can seal up the leaks?
R&R, try not to be in a rush to complete the project. Just enjoy the ride getting there. Looking good.

Thanks guys.
Cecil snow is back today. 57 Saturday.
Esshup, I'm no expert for sure, But these particular windows had a nailing flange molded into them that stuck out about an 1 1/2". couple that with the 2" back flange on the J-mold and it seems like it would be hard to leak. As ken said with my overhang I don't expect problems. But I'll probably run a bead of caulk all the way around anyway.
Thanks again for the good comments.

Dad tried the foam in a can. You can see where it oozed on the outside of the building and the sun turned it a dark brown. The leak is still there.....
I might have to take the windows out, clean all the foam away, make a small raingutter over each one and re-install, caulking them well. These don't have a flange on them, they are double pane vinyl windows that you could use in a house. 2'x4' non-opening.
Thanks R&R!

Scott, if you can loosen the vinyl J-Strip enough to get the drip cap under it, you will be good to go. Any window that is exposed needs the drip cap as the nailing flanges do not stop leaks. We had to do this on a house that was done before we bought it. It is a lot of fun working behind a jack-leg.

Esshup the window on the porch end doesn't have siding on yet. Next time I get up there I'll take a close up of the j-mold around it if it might help.

Sb, I'm at about $14,000 right now.
Still have about 25 yards of concrete to pour and my two overhead doors to get. (about another $6,000 + or -)

esshup I just realized I didn't take a picture around my window before I covered it. My Bad. No big deal. I'm going to finish the inside of Dad's pole barn this year, and I think I'm going to yank out all the windows and make sure they're installed properly and flashed before I start on the inside.

Looks good.. One suggestion move the Window section of your garage doors down one section so you can see out of them..
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Yes I would put that several cuts above any pole barn or shed I have.
Something like that would look nice out by my pond though................... maybe some day.

Very nice. Love the color combo to. I'm thinking of how nice it would be to sit out there with a nice adult libation while overlooking the pond.
