It’s been awhile since I’ve updated, mainly because of the holidays and well, just life in general. Over new years weekend we installed a new window in the bathroom. I ordered a custom size to replace the one that was in there, however, when the old one came out, so did the rotten garbage wood that it was mounted in. It was actually mounted using the original window’s casment trim! I don’t have a picture because the wood is already dumpstered, but imagine using the decorative wood that surrounds a door to secure a window in place. We ended up building a new frame to mount it in with 2×4s (one which I had to shave to a 1.25×4 with a circ saw) and secured it to the brick around the window using cement anchor screws. Fun. The new window went in relatively easy after that and then we put some spray foam insulation around it to keep the cold in. The hardest part was constructing the aluminum to cover the outside of the window and caulking it to seal out the water. It looks like a 2 year old spread cake icing around the seams, but it’s functional. Unfourtunately, I only have pictures of the inside. I got a crank style window because I think they look nicer in a bathroom and mildew doesn’t have as many places to hide.
