Future bedroom! RE-construction - Part 7 - Window Creation! (window #2!)
Moving right along here... On to the second bedroom window. This one went a little bit smoother with one window under our belts.
Here's what we're working with... A wide and short non-opening single pane window:

First we had to move our support wall into place. This held the roof up while we removed a large section of wall.

Once we had our support wall shimmed and screwed in place the cutting begins! We used our trusty sawzall to cut around the perimeter of the window. I did not do nearly as nice of a job on this side. The cut marks were all wavy and crooked.

Woah! What happened here!

With a wave of my magic hand, a little touch-up, and we're back in business!

It was getting late so we decided to call it a day. We didn't want to leave a giant hole into the house wide open, so we fastened a quick little wall. Worked like a charm!

We got the new wall and window framing all shimmed into place and nice and level.

This wall is right at ground level, so we didn't have to deal with being all up on ladders. Made things a bit easier to handle.
Here's Vanessa the lil' teapot, hammering away! Lookin' sassy! She's a hammering machine!

And concentrating hard on "NOT" hitting the window frame while nailing it in place. Great job! No damage done!

Look at that beauty!

Here she is from the outside. All flashed up. Still need to add siding, but again, we're concentrating on the interior for the moment. It's nice to have some opening windows in there!

Stay tuned for even MORE window madness coming soon!
