First things first...move the ghetto dryer vent to an actual wall. This was a piece of cake. Drill through 12 inches of block and put the dryer vent right through. Maybe it wasn't quite that easy. One bloody finger later...right through.
Our very first window...America's Best Choice slider
This is Chris cutting the steel window out and he will be leaving the steel frame all the way around. This will leave something to attach the new window to...along with framing the inside with wood. He took the day off from work and since I was unavailable for the assistant job he had a very generous helper (with lots of window instillation experience) for the day.
The new window looks great. Now the frame around the outside is the eye sore...don't even pay attention to the dead ivy on the right side of the picture. Yes, the outside of the house has been neglected but one day we will get to around to that.
He added a wood frame around the outer edges of the window.
Last, Chris used his table saw to cut the wood molding to go around the outside of the window. I just set it up there for the picture...it's not actually attached, but soon it will be! He ordered 4 more windows for the rest of the downstairs...then we will tackle the BIG windows upstairs.
