Most of the basement windows I see are installed in the foundation and sit a little deeper inside the brick opening. I have this basement window that sits flush with the brick wall and has no brick sill like windows on the main floor.

A mason contractor I talked to for lintel installation says that he would install the lintel and install the window again exactly like this. He told me that sitting flush and with no concrete/brick sill is a common basement window type. Can someone help me verify this window installation?
Thanks.

Hello,

There is a dryer vent hole in my poured concrete foundation that I would like to fill. The concrete is about 9 inches thick and the hole is about 4 inches. It is probably not core drilled as the cut doesn’t look clean.

A few questions:

How should I attempt to fill this? Do I need bonding agent? I was thinking of using hydraulic cement and do it layer by layer. I don’t think I need rebar or anything like that but do I? Please let me know If I am missing anything. A few pictures attached.

Thanks.
