Ok, I may have to call the city because I was told they will fail inspection if Tapcons are used. I was told that sleeve bolts should work but have heard other things as well.

One other question, the window will be installed on a wall that runs parallel to the floor joists. I do not need to build an elaberate header, do I? I was just going to use 2X10s Pressure Treated (width cut to 8") on all 4 sides of the window frame, is that ok? One thing I should mention is even though this wall runs parallel to my floor joists, my roof peak is in the middle so all the ext walls bear load. If I should do a header, how should I construct it around the 8" block?

THanks
