It is time to replace the windows along the front of my house. One room I use as an office and the other as a spare bedroom. Alas, the windows, large
6ft wide and 5ft high, are mounted 22" off the floors, so anything I put in front of them has to be moved away from the walls--a couch in one case and a desk in another.I was thinking that perhaps I should go for 4ft high windows and mount them
34" off the floor. The siding is simulated board-batten, i.e. 3/8" rough-sawn ply with 1x vertical strips every 16 inches. The house is an overly-flat ranch style, somewhat buried into a hillside, so any exterior appearance of height is a good thing.... interior will get craftsman style casing, base, and crowns.Has anyone else wrestled with this? Should I raise the windows or just go with the current size? The construction aspects are easy enough, but I am wondering about the design/effort tradeoffs. Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers, Shawn
