I'm planning on erecting a cabin here and I want to add a few windows. Problem is, I'm budget strapped and can only afford a window or two now. I would like to plan on framing a space in the walls for other windows, would this be a problem if i just left the OSB and vapor barrier on it? I'm not sure how structural the windows are.
