quick installation checklist for the homeowner

[mgar]

Hello all,
I'm in the middle of the "which window/model/company" swamp and I could use some techy help.

Can you big brains compile a checklist of good replacement window installation practices? I'm not looking for a text book on the subject, but rather a handful of practices that a good installer would commonly do. I've read a few post about flanges, wrapping and the like, so I know these things are important; buuuut what they mean and what to do about them is another question.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Mike
