  1. interior is pretty easy. add studs 16 in on center( you can just add them in the existing rough frame where window sits now). insulate, cut drywall to fit, mud, tape, texture, and paint.if it's vinyl siding outside, you'll need to remove the siding down to bottom of window, add plywood over hole, weather wrap(tyvek) and side back up. if siding is older you'll need to replace siding on the entire wall or you'll never match the color due to fading. go for it!
