I think this post belongs here, if not just let me know.

I live in a brick rowhouse and my HUGE front window and frame are rotted. I am going to frame the front inside wall in order to insulate it, update my electricity and hang drywall.

My question is, should I replace the front window and frame before framing the inside wall or can I do this afterwards?

It seems that it would be simpler to do both at the same time, so you can hit the proper size and installation of the new window and tie all the work together.

Hope this helps.
