   Where did you get the sash? Where did you get the liners? Will the work with each other? Need more info.... What is wrong with the existing liners? Is this a rope & weight window unit?

   I haven't gotten the jamb liners yet.
   I will make the windows myself to replace existing louvre windows that were installed the in the washroom of my old house. I don't have enough carpentry experience to make the casements and window sills and exterior molding, etc. for traditional weight and pulley double hung windows. I can make the windows, however.Thanks for your response.

   Not sure of the size of your window, but, most of the old jalousie windows were "standard" sash openings. I would look in to a sash kit and see if that won't save some time & money. M/W makes a nice unit for the $$$$$$. What size is your opening? What slope is the sill?As long as GOD makes "bad builders" and rich people... I will have a job

   THe opening is 41 x 42 1/2.
   There is no slope on the sill as it does not project to the exterior of the house. As I mentioned before there are louvre windows there currently but I suspect that the louvre windows there are not original to the house.Perhaps there were windows that opened out like doors...?Does this information help?Thanks!

   Marvin makes a product called "tilt-pak". To fit your opening with a custom bevel for the bottom sill, primed wood and Low-E I.G., it should run about $415.00 + tax. That would be the way I would go. At least you would have a guarantee.
