   hold the outside of your window frame at the plane of the boards (the weather surface of the boards) -

   stand a board up either side of the window and secure -

   secure an 'L' flashing above the window -

   fill in the siding space above the window with boards - adjust the width of the boards to come out even - cut a 45* drip edge on the tail of these boards and hold this edge up off the 'L' flashing -

   secure the battens - the batten bridges the window frame to the siding board - when battening above the window,  use that same 45* drip edge on the batten and hold that edge up off the flashing -

   the flashing below the window is straightforward -

   notice there is no horizontal trim element above the window to trap moisture,  and any moisture that gets behind the B&B is channeled over the flashing -

   this sounds like a good fix for a brickmold fastened window. I am unclear on how to seal or flash the sides and bottom, especially with a nailing fin style window instilation.

   well,  how do you prepare the wall for the siding - blocking?  sheathing?  nailers?

   I don't think I've ever used a flange nailed window in a B&B situation -

   but we should be able to figure it out -

   we'll think like water...

   if you are not following it,  Mike Smith's thread in the photo gallery is just at the window sealing stage - check it out - 67972.665
