Second Project.......I'm happy

[Timmer]

My father added a new deck next to a DEEP window well. He didn't want to put a handrail on the deck and asked if I could come up with something that would make the potential hazard a bit safer. Since the window well was not an "egress" from the basement, I came up with a drop in unit that allowed light thru while keeping out trash and falling bbq guests and grandchildren. This is my second "project" since I purchased my new Lincoln 140C. This assembly is so sturdy, it will hold my mother-in-law.

Nice. Such a satisfying feeling when you can stand back & admire your handiwork. And I have to ask, did you get your mother-in-law to test it?

did you get your mother-in-law to test it?

Id guess no, since I cant see any shark fins swimming round in the window well underneath, nor any fancy remote latching mechanism and two way hinges

Looks good and strong while still letting in light. Ive never really "got" putting windows inside a hole below floor level but you see it lots here too, think its done for ventilation.

Nice work!

... so sturdy, it will hold my mother-in-law.

If it'll hold that, it'll hold anything.

Does that mean she couldn't get out or didn't fall in ?

My mother-in-law sadly passed away some years ago.

Oops, I meant...

Is there an emoticon for envy?



Sorry, I mean sympathy.

Mostly the windows are letting in light. It makes the underground space more comfortable than the dingy basements of older neighborhoods.
