In our veterinary hospital my wife an I share an office, and in that office was a tiny window about 8"W x 16"H filling the gap remaining after a window AC unit was installed. Far too small to let in natural light and fresh air. I used this video made by Shannon over at houseimprovements: https://youtu.be/YttTTi-hNZc as a rough guide. 

I'm relatively handy so I knew I could tackle it in a day if all went well. I ordered the window through Carter Lumber, It's a Pella 250 Double Hung window with the standard double pane glass. The window cost about $250 and my total costs were a tube of $4 caulk and about 16 man-hours total between measuring, ordering, pickup, installation, trimming, caulk, and paint. I did get the outside buttoned up in one 8-hour day working by myself, the fiddly bits inside took the other 8 hours.

I've added the tools (or the nearest duplicates I could find) I used in the project to my amazon influencer list: https://www.amazon.com/shop/joemalovich
