One window was engaged husband, another friend, who specializes in finishing works. Husband began to flatten slopes using beacons, This method proved to be more time consuming and inconvenient, tk. Special levels for the lighthouse were either long, or too short and had one side of the window to do twice as long. Our friend did everything faster. I found the extra pieces of plastic (He said, that can be used and the board and laminate if left), I cut them the right size and once plastered all slopes, Using these panels as levels. After drying the solution to it remains only to bring to an ideal surface finishing putty.
