Have been working on a new kitchen for a while - details coming, but have just installed a window over the sink. Was pretty straight forward actually.
- Pulled the Gib away to expose the studs.
- Cut half the studs away to install a lintel beam across the top so as to support the studs to be removed for the window
- Drill out the corners of the window through the external wall
- Cut the hole for the window in the external
- Place another lintel across the top, chipping the outside of the studs (actually, Mike and I decided to just take out the studs and put the beams in - not need for chipping)
- Cut out the studs allowing for a cross nog to support the base of the window
- Insert window from outside, pack and check level
- Flashing was as per original way (scribes etc) as this window sits under an eve and get now weather. Used treated H3 clear timber.
- Sealed the scribes etc with exterior no-more-gaps
- Gib up interior, ready for frame, sill and painting.
Something like that anyway. Thanks Mike for manual help and Dave for advice.
