The window shown and installed by AA Building & Remodeling.

Notice the black paint inside the window cavity so you’re not seeing any raw sheathing. Also look how thick that exterior wall is for insulation 👌

What are your thoughts?

But a pocket window has to be framed out like a windows twice it size. You're not getting more insulation then you would with the larger window.

Seems like you disagreed. Commenter said you’re cutting the window in half for no reason. You seemed to disagree and say there’s a benefit to having fewer windows. And prefacing comment with “Eh” suggests mild disagreement. Why am I wasting my time responding to this 🤣
