lockmat Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm looking to buy an older home and a lot of them lack windows. I was wondering how difficult it is to remove brick and sheetrock and install a window? I've never really heard or seen anyone do it before, but it's something I'd like to do.Also, I'm wondering if there's any software out there where I could take a photo of the home and then redesign it before actually doing any demo work.

We have done it many times. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Anyone know of any good DIY research tools on how I might go about doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
