I'd like to learn how to add a small to medium size window on my home.
Not a reinstall but actually cutting a new window in.
It is a frame and stucco walled house.
Any good links?
Thanks

If you want to replace with full new windows you're looking at a lot more work. I've never tried that but I know people that have done is successfully.

Good luck.
I added it's not a reinstall just now to the top post.

It's easy to find links. Do you have trim around the windows or is it stucco ? Can you frame ? They do make windows that fit between the studs . Going at it from the inside out will give you a visual into what you got to do to make yer cut in.You open the wall on the inside where yer window will go.

I have tried doing this once but was unsuccessful and got an expert contractor to get this done. I found it risky as a DIY process.
