Help me Fix This - Bathtub Window
As you can see from the picture, this window in the bathtub has created a mess and there is rotted wood underneith. As it stands, it is 36x36. I need to resolve this within the next week. The bathroom does have a vent.
What ideas or opinions do you have?
Options:
Order a Window
This would be my preference would be to put a sliding window in that is 36 by about 18. That would keep a window but still look ok from the outside and reduce the water around the window. I can't find any in stock windows this size and ordering is going to take a few weeks. I can find 36x24 and that would help but probably would not solve the problem.
Glass Block
I would have to narrow the window as well since I can't find a combination of the available glass block sizes that would work to fill 36". I can get the materials today at HD. It would probably cost more than a window and could not be opened.
Eliminate the Window
As I think about it, this is seeming like the best choice. It would probably cost less overall. I will have to buy the exterior materials no matter the option. It would eliminate all future issues. I could add a bathroom can light connected to the vent at minimal cost.
