How to cut a new window into an existing concrete foundation

How to Create a Basement Window | This Old House · 4:28 · Video: This Old House · Watch at the source

In short: This video demonstrates the process of installing a basement window into an old foundation. Watch as a professional uses a specialized concrete cutter to create an opening, providing much-needed light for a space slated for future renovation.

The project involves opening a new window in the foundation of the Westerly house to ensure the basement receives natural light. This modification is necessary because a new deck being built at the rear of the house will block the existing basement windows.

The demonstration features Kevin O'Connor and a professional concrete cutter, who utilizes a specialized blade to precisely cut through the old concrete foundation.
