    Can you please tell me why you didn't add any silicone caulking to the opening?
    Just a rookie asking to say the least, but you did a great job.

      you can add silicone caulk, but the weather zip tape is better, just remember if you use caulk on the bottom of sill, you may be trapping water, so the idea is if some water happens to get in it will weep out and dry

    I wonder how that rough opening got so rotted when there is such a nice roof overhang in front of it

      flashing on the plumbing vent was leaking inside over the window, bad roofing job

      That is a roof replacement, there was a leak down the vent pipe, water was traveling from the inside from the ceiling

    someone needs a real sawzall?multi piece the sill?some straight bleach sprayed on that header would hlep before taping with window wrap.some drip edge under the vinyl siding would let that roof leak get off the wall and not rot anymore.

    madskillz you didnt know code requires tempered safty glass within 4 feet of that sink .bathrooms or if the sill is lower than 18"looks like it worked out.next time show the function after install that it closes and locks easy

    What if you need wider windows? Mine are super small.

      Frame in your rough opening, it’s easier than cutting out a big opening,

      @@madskills5937about how much did you charge for that? I have a second story window that’s really small and I want just a bigger window all the way around. If I make my hubby do it, he’ll cuss and yell the whole damn day, so I’m sourcing that job out. 😅 tia
