From our bedroom window, we have access to a lightwell that we share with 11 other units in our building. For 4 of those units, this light well or courtyard is their ONLY access to any source of natural light. It’s really a shame as they had no view whatsoever. The owners on the 3rd and 4th level opted to have a contractor come in and knock out these windows from the existing brick about the size of 16’x18′ feet, which would give them an open view to the outside world other than that brick wall and the lightwell. The construction has been very loud and Charlie’s nap time has been a struggle, but the outcome is absolutely fabulous. Here are some pix of before, in the process and the finished product. It’s quite amazing how much more natural light we get in the afternoon as well as how bright it is in the room. BLINDING, actually…
is it all done?
