I had quite a bit of advice on how to frame for the upper windows and lower. In the end, I did it my own way. Obstacles I had to overcome were complicated by Rammed Earth Walls a 1/2 inch or so out of line due to shifting of forms while compacting. I had to get a few windows a inch or 1/2 an inch shorter/wider than planned. But overall, I was happy with the end result. Took weeks figuring out how many windows to put in. I decided on 28 windows. 10 in the Rammed Earth and 18 in the Framing.
