That attic looks great! And admittedly, throughout this whole thread all i could think of was Busta Rhymes sayin “Tear the roof off!” ---

well if you are serious about redoing that attic in a couple of years. I was going to tell you to buy the full frame windows to put in there because all vinyl replacements do is bolt right to your old frame. After thinking about it again that would be a waste of money. wht i would do is replace or fix the parts of the frame that dont look so good to insure no air leaks. Then because vinyl replacements are cheapier than the other windows through those in there but make sure insulated properly. The only reason i would do this is because if you really rip that attic apart then you have to tear that nice expenisve framed window down and you could reuse it but you may want to go in a different direction for redoin that attic. Its up to you on wht you want to do and both windows are good choices but those vinyls are cheapier and will last you until you redo that attic. ---

I’ll help ya out with, for a trade for help/ help with deals with some of my home projects this summer. Got a couple windows to replace, a room to tear-apart and rebuild, and a complete roof to put on the garage. Send me a PM, I’d be more than willing to shoot over during the evenings and spend a couple hours doing the non-drywall sanding stuff 😛 ---

If that “box” is for the Cable box and stuff like that, where is the TV going? It doesn’t look like there is any room above it.
