I am installing aluminum windows with no J channgel. The window extends about 1" past the fin. Because of my application it would be easier for me to install the window before the plywood is nailed to the framing. The windows are also being installed between 4x6 posts.

1. Should I apply flashing before and after installing the window. First against the framing and then after the window is in.

2. SInce I am installing between posts what would be the best way to trim that area between the two windows which is the width of the post? Should I just trim it or if I do stucco should I do stucco first and then trim?

Before the plywood is nailed to the framing?! I can't see how that would benefit.

Manufacturers usually have installation instructions and/or videos on their websites.
