I was just reading the thread 'Things that make simple jobs hard' and that reminded me to post this question. We're approaching the end of the kitchen refurb and a visiting friend said ' You know what you should do, you should put a window above the sink. Everybody says it's a good idea and we did in in our house and blah blah' so now I have to put a window above the sink, through an unused chimney breast. It'll be a small window (Wickes 40% off PCVu windows 620 wide x 1050 high) and I'll be going though a half brick breast and a full brick exterior wall (Victorian house)
Quite happy to knock holes in walls and put lintels in. It'll be set more or less flush to the outside, so there'll be a deep internal ledge Anybody done this and can give me any advice? The flue will still need to be vented, so will it be better to do that through the wall above the opening or at the top of the boxing out (does that make sense?).
