AMEN. Detailing around windows/doors is an issue. Some bale structures have significantly recessed windows and doors; any moisture driven into those places can be a real problem. For this structure. my windows are nailed to the framing just like a typically-framed house and will be more or less flush with the outer wall surface. They'll have 1x4 trim around them too.

The alternative is to have deep overhangs (Whiskey Dan's are going to be 8 feet). Super deep eaves weren't an option on this building because we didn't want to remove any trees to build the cabin. Thus, three feet of overhang was the most I could build and still have any floor space.

We did a little experimentation in the framing but a lot of this structure is simply parrotting other strawbale projects that I've found.
