Flyover
Trying not to screw things up worse
Successfully venting the bathroom exhaust through my roof has given me the courage to cut other, larger holes in the outside surfaces of my house. I've been talking about putting a window in my bathroom forever but since I lost my job a month ago and don't currently have any strong leads this might be the time.
What I'd like to do is buy a glass block window like [this one] and then install it. But while there are plenty of videos on how to DIY a window replacement, there are very few on how to install a window where there previously wasn't one. Anybody know of good learning resources for this?
Or, if you really know your stuff, would you care to make a step-by-step how-to guide for me?
My house is a beam-on-pier ranch, so the bathroom window will be about 6-7 feet "above grade" from the outside and about 4 feet from the floor on the inside, give or take a couple feet. There's no electrical or other stuff running through the wall at that point either as far as I can gather. (And no HOA, in case that's relevant.)
Also, does anybody know if this is the kind of thing I might need to get a permit for?
