Is there a good website which shows pictures of how you should wrap the window opening prior to installing a new construction window (bow window in this case) and then after window is installed how to wrap the installed window.

By wrap, I mean felt(tar) paper and/or Tyvek wrap before siding is installed. I just want to make sure my installer does it right. He saids he's installed many windows but that doesn't mean he installs them right.

Thanks in advance

Here's Tyvek's website. In the right column there are PDF's to download and look at. They are very informational and current.

It's been awhile but I recall that Marvin has a movie that shows the installation procedure. It's pretty slow unless you have DSL. Check it out on the Marvin webpage. Bob V. also has a procedure on his but I don't recommend it. It was actually funny.
