Bath tub and shower surround?

Bryan M asked:


I want to remove an old cast iron bathtub that just looks horrible and replace it with a shower tub combo. However, there is an old double sash window on what will be the back back wall as you face the shower.

I am told I can still use this installation and simply cut in the window and install vinyl trim all around the window so it remains a functional window.

Anyone ever tried this? Anything I should look out for?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

what are the things called on siding usually up in a gable on the front of a house used for decoration?

they kinda look like medallions with slats(sp?) but i dont think that is the correct word i am looking for. in older homes they are used for venting attics and even some are real windows but the thing i am referring to is vinyl and not a window but more for decoration.
decorative gable vents is the correct term. thanks
