Here is the finished project! You can see that we should have ordered the window to fit as it looks a little strange. What do you think? We could take the shutters down and then it would probably look better. Or we could move the shutters over the white... but that would be more work so maybe not. :)
Well, I can see that you don't have to post photos in reverse order anymore... so you are going to see this process backwards:) This was the second step. After adding the 2x4's and wrapping the bottom, we put the window in and wrapped the sides. We also put shims in all the way around.
Here is the first step. We put in the bottom wood and wrapped it and then put in the side wood to fill the spot.
This is what the original window looked like. All of the wood at the bottom was rotten. So, Dad and I got the new window in and it really went smoothly. Some steps Dad figured out and I totally didn't know what to do and other steps it was vice versa. Nice teamwork!!! New for us :)

If anyone wants to go in and delete the boxes between the photos in my entries... go right ahead. I couldn't get them out.
Is that the garage window? Well, it's not perfect, but it looks good to me. I think it's great. As long as it doesn't fall out during the first storm I'd say it's a success.
Look at you guys! Shims and 2x4's. I'm impressed. I've pretty much decided that home improvement projects just about never go smoothly :) We've done a lot of them lately and they always involve about 6 trips to Lowes!
