Default Replacing old window with sheetrock


wrote in message
ps.com...
Last year, we got new siding on the house. I had 2 windows on the side
that we deemed unnecessary, so we had them put up plywood, and the
siding went on top of it. Now we want to remove the windows from the
inside and replace the window with sheetrock. These are old double
hung windows.

I understand the window has to be removed, but what will the sheetrock
screw onto? Bear in mind, I'm totally new at this.

I know I have to take a prybar to the sill and moldings and remove the
windows itself, but I don't know how to go about the sheetrock
process.

Thanks.


There should be studs that frame the window all around it. Once you remove
the sill plates you'll see them.
