| I have some old wood arched shaped window sashes that were removed from elsewhere in my home. I am wondering if I might add them to the inside of my basement where there are identical windows as a sort of storm window/sound barrier. They might help with noise, thermal insulation and even security if I can lock them w/ a bolt. Would they be too thick to use? My wall and sill plates could be built out some. Any thoughts on this idea? |

| Sure, why not? Really it depends on how handy you are or if you know someone handy to install them for you. |

| Yes, I can find someone to do it. Just wanted to make sure the effort made sense. Nothing like doing something 'creative' to find out I've just made a mess of things, spent a bunch to accommodate my 'idea' and find that the problems aren't solved. Been there, LOL! |
