We built a Lindal log home in ’05. All the windows leak when I wash the exterior or with even a light, wind driven rain.Thinking this might be a common problem, I’ve talked to the manufacturer several times with no help.The windows were installed following Lindal’s plans. Thanks for any help.

I would recommend completely caulking the exterior. Most log home manufactures say that they do not need to be chinked or caulked, but you will save yourself thousands in repair costs if you get it caulked early in the homes life. Almost 100% of them will need it eventually.
