I remodeled our shower bathroom and am now doing our bathroom with tub.
There is an old glass block window which was previously covered with plywood and then tiled over .
I would like to put in a new window but it cannot be so low as the old window sill in tub area.
My options are to either
1. remove the glass block block window and brick up about 5 courses then place a window in the 3ft x 2ft opening
2. Remove glass block and old sill? Seems like a ton of work, this is on the back of house and looks don't really matter...
Do I add a second sill for the new window to sit on?
Should the window sit flush with outside brick or back a few inches?
Inside I have about 13 inches from outside edge of brick to inside edge of durock. There will be a tile shelf to make up the distance between new window and wall, hopefully a single piece of marble.
I'm thinking of a frosted glass awning window that opens bottom out.
