In a log home it is even more important than with a conventional framed home to get the flashing detail correct, because there is minimal space to make the proper flashing fitment work.

It is actually leaking through where the glass and trim meet on the outside, not around the outside of the window frame. If the rain ever stops I will take a picture.
