Step 3: Window install

Here is what we started with.
after cutting the drywall away

Matt starts the cutting

and after I use a drill to put holes on the inside to help break through

after one little hole we didn't think it was going to work

then I went outside to get the saw, and noticed that it was all cracked on the outside

after 40 mins this is what was left

but then the framing didn't go as planned and this was our solution for the night

framed the next morning

and installed, Yeah!

and we didn't fight at all, seemed like a good home project so far. It's not finished but I think the hard part is done.

Stage Two: replace pipe

I am starting to think that this window will go pretty smoothly. Knock on wood:)We found that our window well needed to go out farther and that meant replacing and moving this clay pipe. Lucky for us it was just drainage and now sewage.

now I hope it doesn't leak:)

The start of the egress window!

We are installing an Egress window in our basement. It took me three days of digging. I only dug it while Jack was napping so considering that I think it went pretty fast. I will be updating this with more pictures as we keep working on this project. Day 1
Day 2

and Day 3
