Shower too close to window - another question, sort of...

Nothing wrong with it. except Most places have a code that requires ventilation in a bathroom either a window or a exhaust vent. And I'd check if it was a Fire Code that windows be accessible to the room. but your obviously redoing walls so that should be easy to to.

And eventually some day you will redo the siding.

I did see one once where they put some sort of adhesive film on the inside of the glass so from the outside you couldn't see in and see there was a wall behind it.

Egress isn't an issue in a bathroom so no windows is required. A vent fan would be. Cover the window on the inside with a sheet of plywood painted flat black and it'll look fine from outside.

Yep, planning on a fan vented right out through that wall. Thanks for the tip on the black background, that was a big concern.

Nobody's mentioned my other concern, so I guess it's a non-issue. Was just a bit worried about having a "weak spot" in the home exterior that would be essentially unaccessable from the inside. But it's a good strong semi-recent replacement window, and if something goes bad with it down the road I can always get to it by ripping out a chunk of drywall, so I won't lose any sleep over it.

Man..dont worry about code issues..Tom has proven time and time again he has no desire to go with the law..

PVC pipe instead of B for instance...

HACK!! Covering up a window with drywall instead of properly removing it?!?!?

Tommy, you are truly a HACK.

Replace with glass block, disable the locks on storm windows and leave them in place.
