So ... Fire Fighter Puddle Jumper ... I was reviewing everyone's Challenge threads and when I got to ...
I have a tip for you that may eliminate this problem for you in the future ...
When you mark out the openings that you will cut for windows, cut the openings just a smidgeon small. Then you can slowly enlarge the opening to the needed size with some careful, judicious filing with a flat jeweler's file or some other "light cut," small flat file. When the window "just" fits, stop!
Then mark, or bag, or identify in some other way that works for you, which window fits in which opening.
Yes, it's a bit more work, but you will like the results!
