installing windows

19 years ago

I am installing 5 new windows and a sliding glass door in a new addition. This is how I was going to install them, or does anyone have any suggestions. The tyvek house wrap is folded over on the inside of the window frame and I was going to cut it back halfway so that when I add flexwrap on the bottom then tyvek straight flash to the sides and top, the adhesive will have some wood framing to stick to. Then I am going to apply caulk to the window fins and nail it up. I was then going to put more straight wrap on the bottom, sides and top before putting up my trim with caulking on the trim too. Do I have to take any other precautions with the sliding glass door, or just treat it like a window? Thanks for any suggestions.
