Replacing Windows and Outside Wall Board...
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2009 8:17 am
Boy did I bite off more than I can chew on this one. We're replacing 5 windows (4 of them 62x40 and 1 is 30x39) on our 89 Schultz 16x66 single wide. After doing some research we've decided to go with the new construction single hung windows. One thing that baffles me is the clear frame windows are 4" in depth where as the ones with the grids are like 2.??" in depth. So we have to go with those since our wall depth is only 3". Anyway, we're going to go smaller on the kitchen window like the 30x36 since I'm going to have to re frame the window sill anyway due to bad bad bad rot. This window is located under the carport which some jerky forgot to put the flashing back on the top of the carport to keep the water from running down the side of the house (which it does and we have had mold growing out there.. big ones - yuk!!! So in replacing this window i plan to take down the carport since it's attached to the side of the house (they all are around here) so I can replace that whole wall panel. Hope y'all are following this. So anyways, I'm up for the chore (even though I've never done anything like this before) and just wanted to see if anyone can give me tips to make this a good idea in the end and not a huge mistake. thanks y'all!!!
