Anyone here DIY install of a window into a wall that had no existing window? It doesn't seem that difficult, I just feel like i will be getting into a mess of unknowns once start cutting.
Just call a pro?

- you'll like be cutting through support studs so you'll need to understand how to compensated for their lossGnash

- Exactly, you need to know what you're cutting through and yes you might encounter wires. Maybe call a pro for an opinion first.sea_sea
