Re: Install a bathroom window question



Without knowing how your home is constructed (thatch hut, wood frame,
brick, CMU, concrete bunker?) it's impossible to give any answer other
than "call a contractor." There's more to it than cutting a hole in the
wall and a permit will probably be required. Before cutting remember
that there may be pipes and/or wires in that wall too.  If you live in a
stick frame house and want a window no more than 14" wide that will fit
between existing studs it should be fairly easy if you know how to do a
proper, weather tight installation.  Although I know what to do and how
to do it, I'd still leave the job to a qualified contractor/installer.
