Great idea! I'll check them out.

Thanks for the reply Greg and Greg S., I'll combine my responses in one post. The home looks to be in good shape. I agree, open up the wall and get the window back. I personally don't care for the idea of double layers if sheetrock in a home that old, so I would most likely take it down to the studs...

Lights on that side would flicker sometimes or not come on at all. It took me quite a while to figure it out be...
