Hey all, My wife and I are buying a 1924 bungalow in LA, that was expanded with a master bedroom addition. For some reason though, the contractors didn't install any windows in the master, just a slider door. My wife really loves having a cross-breeze, so I'm trying to sort out what it would take to add one or two small windows. It seems like a pretty do-able job for me as I love DIY and have spent a good part of the last couple of years fixing up my parents' 1914 house (though I've never done a window install, so I might be wrong!) I'm thinking 2 24" x 24"-ish windows or one wider but still not so tall slider, as the wall that the windows would go on doesn't have a nice view (just the neighbor's wall) and we just want the windows for a breeze and maybe a little more light. I know I'll have to reframe some of the wall, but I haven't yet found much online about small windows, just about full-sized ones. And, in particular I was wondering if I need to remove all of the sheet-rock and siding to install new studs all the way to the ground for support, or if a window is small enough you can just reframe a section closer to the size of the window. The exterior is wood siding, so I know I'll have to remove some of it, but I'm also wondering how much? Thanks so much, and if anyone has general advice, tips, tutorials they like, etc. I'd love to look at them. Thanks! attached is a pic of the wall where I imagine the window(s) going Chris [ATTACH]46546[/ATTACH]

We need to replace french doors due to dry rot. The frame is probably okay, but the whole existing structure is not operating smoothly. Trying to visualize the process, adjustment within the existing frame is likely to be more challenging than doing prehung, but if I get stuck I can put back the current doors at the end of the day and continue working later. What is the better strategy? Prehung, or slow and steady work within the existing frame?
