DRYWALL DIY
replacing window with walls?
we have a sunroom that we are planning to turn into a bedroom. it has several windows, and we dont want them all of course. how do we turn the windows into walls. what materials do we need, and such???? i have looked on diy sites and cant find any helpful information. we just want to make it walls where the windows are. the room is drywall. any info can help. 
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!
