WooHoo, here we go again!
We want 2 windows in our exterior kitchen wall. There are no windows currently. I want to do this myself, but want it to be as hassle-free as possible. To that end, I'm wondering if anyone makes a casement window that is designed to fit perfectly (with shims) between regularly-spaced wall studs.
My thoughts along this line are:
- I won't have to mess with cutting more drywall/plaster to create headers and cut existing studs.
- measurements will be more precise, and a lot of the guesswork is taken out.
I realize a 15" window is narrow, but with 2 or 3 of them side-by-side, it could be nice.
Is this just wishful thinking, or am I stuck ripping out most of that wall to cut studs, build headers, etc....?
Thanks
