Ok, I just read this on HouseRepair Talk
"Hmm...
By the time you get a window in between 2 studs, 16"-1 1/2"=14 1/2", you will still need at the very least 1/2" of space around the frame to plumb, level and square the frame. 14 1/2"-1"=13 1/2". Then the frame, 3/4" on each side, 13 1/2"-1 1/2"-12". Then substract the width of the sash 1 3/4" on each side of the window, 12"-3 1/2"=8 1/2" wide glass. The frame and the trim adds up to be as wide as the glass. Makes an odd looking window."
The person has a great point. I think I'll run down to Big Orange and see what they have to say. Since I'm not thinking of casement windows for this, I might be able to shave a bit off the sash width. They are having a sale this week on special order windows, so I'd like to get this resolved this week.
