[quote name='DarthPuma']I am really, really sick of not having a window in my room. Frosty/Chika, you guys seem pretty knowledgeable about home repair. What's it cost to put in a new window, and is it something my grandpa and me could do?[/QUOTE]
It's something you need a building permit and it needs to be inspected/pass inspection in most states. That means knowing the proper way to frame a window, how to cut a supporting stud and make it so that there isn't a weak spot in the wall. You need lumber, the window, trim, flashing, spackle, tape etc for inside and you need to cut the siding, insulation, and exterior wall outside, and you need to buy the proper exterior trim pieces to match the rest of the house. If your house has shutters, you need a matching pair of them, too. And that's if your room has a wooden wall. If it's concrete block or poured concrete walls, it's a whole different ball game. It's a fairly complex renovation.
