Is your window a double hung with weights. If so why not just drop the top
one a little?
Someone suggested to one person to replace the window with Lexan or similar.
I drilled a hole in the wall, large enough for a black 2" sewer pipe. Put
in a piece of pipe and a cap on for now. Plan on putting coax through
it. Some one suggested putting a box outside for all things window line etc.
