the southeasterly facing windows in my log home are leaking when the rain drives against them.I have caulked around all of them,but it does not seem to work.They have done this ever since the house was new.The builder has been no help in this matter. They are the kind of windows that open out,not up and down.I hope you can offer me some advice.Thank You.

If you have caulked around them well and they still leak they are probably not installed correctly. You will need to have them removed and re-installed. If you used silicon caulk you need to remove it and try using Energy Seal Caulk. Silicon should not be used on wood. You can order it from Timeless Wood Care at 800-564-2987.
