    Turning a window into a door
    I just bought a older home and I turned one of the bedrooms into a TV area. I would like to take the back window out and make it a door to let the dogs out in the backyard. The house is brick and the basement is block. Right where I want to put the door we have a block window in the basement right below. It has a steel header above the window. My question is do I have to take out the basement window and fill it in with block or brick?
