I would center it under a window and you don't have to worry about any extreme loads from above.

I assume under the window is a great spot as the header for the window should already be redirecting the weight to the sides of the window and down into the cement - leaving the cement under the window mostly load free, right?

Thanks - based on some of the convos about around a chain + saw rental perhaps it would be better to hire someone to cut the hole - hopefully it wouldn’t be TOO expensive. Wife says “I’m not qualified to cut through concrete in our new house” lol

Called around got a quote so far of 675!!! :vs_mad:
really thinking it'd just be easier to rent and to this myself. I was thinking it was 100 bucks then it'd be worth it but jesus 600+ no way.
