I put a piece of l bracket or channel at the top above the openings to my windows and siliconed the top of them to channel water away from the seam, it worked great. By the way, when is the next batch of knives gonna be ready?

Try finding some horizontal slider windows. The are usually cheaper than vertical house type windows and I have found work better in shooting houses. They do not stick as bad in cold weather and you never have to worry about one slamming shut on you.

If u have a table saw go and buy aDado blade. Use 2 x4 's and cut 1/2 inch Dado's through the top and bottom frame. Put a little felt in the bottom of the grooves.Plexi glass will slide through nicely. This is how my Grandfather has built them for years and it is very quiet and cheap.

<SPAN id=_ctl1_ctlTopic_ctlPanelBar_ctlTopicsRepeater__c tl2_lblFullMessage>Ryan, depends on how big you are building....My crew-cab box has truck sliding windows front and back then in the doors they are some type of windows that slide also but smaller to fit in a crew cab door. What ever you get, let me suggest some sheet metal as a visor over the windows to act as a drip edge....if you don't remember the house, here is the link...

Does your shooting house have 4--wheel drive too?

Actually I did go hunt with a buddy several years ago who had an old junker on the property. He said he decided to clean it out and try it. --Turned out to be a pretty good shooting house--"CAR" The neighbors never knew he was hunting from it.

Now for the Question at hand. I bought 1/4" plexi-glass to put in mine. But I dont want to loose half my space with a sliding &#119;indow. I am still trying to decide on putting hinges on the top, and letting them fold in. or sacrificing half the window opening with a slide. I know it could slide both ways, but when the deer is running does you may only have a short time to get on him, and all the space you can get.

cut the groove in the top deeper.. that way you can still get them out. all you do is slide up then pull the bottom out. that is what we do but the wind will blow and rattel the windows so we just cut shims in and wedge in when we leave..

I was going to use a type of lexan that cuts much easier then plexiglass, for some slidders and may still in other ones I'm going to build for guest to stay warm and dry...in the big house I have found some house windows for cheap and will be using those...remember you will need more room out of the windows for bow hunting and getting the proper angle from them ....thats why I went with the house windows and they are a lot easier to install for me....once I finally do...now that warmer weather is here, I can finally finish it and start on another one on top of some scaffolding I picked up!

Ryan, I'll ask my buddy where he got his shooting house windows from.
