I hear that casement openings can be tricky to measure, but mine looks
pretty straight forward.
The window is set back a little over an inch from the front of the
opening and looks to me like when I remove it, I'll have an opening
with four flat sides with some holes where the hardware is mounted.
From what I can see, it looks to me like I should simply measure from
side to side and top to bottom on the interior of the opening.
Am I missing anything? What should I be looking for?
It takes a week (from Tuesday to Tuesday) for my supplier to get a
window, so I guess I could take the existing window out and see what I
really have, then board it up for a week or so until the window comes
in. I know that would work, but I doubt the pros would ever do it that
way.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Visit a HD or Lowes (Or both) *there should be info there and even a
book to look at.- Hide quoted text -

I doubt a Home Depot or Lowes would be any help.
Even the window supplier that I am using suggested that perhaps I
should offer a contractor a small fee to measure the window "on his
way home or if he was in the neighborhood" to make sure I got the
measurements right.
The supplier knows me, since I measured for the 12 double hungs (6
different sizes) that I replaced last year and got them all right, so
I pretty sure I know what I'm doing. However, this talk of "casements
windows can be tricky" has me second guessing myself.
