Front dormer window


otterine

The second floor dormer was to sit atop the original kit porch, which was no longer part of my Heritage. I also raised the ceiling in the parlor, but I couldn't raise this window by the same amount since the roof pieces would no longer fit correctly. And, I couldn't cut down the window. So, instead of building it per the kit instructions, I had to wing it. I used kit parts and scrap wood to build the window and after some coaxing (and swearing) it worked. :] The window sticks a little, but it works...just like a bathroom window in an old house would be after years of moisture exposure. I used a frosted plastic binder insert for the window glass to give grandma some privacy. I added brackets to the bottom for extra support.
