Now that is funny,
I wonder if he had a home inspector, to be honest my alarm went off as soon as I saw the position of the windows and the drop ceiling.
I just hope he has lost the remote or his nice new pella's may end up a ceiling fixture

I’ve done garage conversions that kept the garage door in the wall but never with a window in that wall. It’s pretty common in Florida, but one usually removes the door if your going to put a window in it.

ya it may be a little ghetto, but 1, it fooled you and 2, it looked like pretty careful craftsmanship. I always, always pop tiles off in drop ceilings. (found a bag with $340.00 once.) and (yes I gave it to the current owner who did give ma a “finders fee”. we got pizza and called it a good story.)

Actually, an inspector with a little knowledge should have felt something was wrong from the exterior side, before even entering the dwelling. How many times have you seen carriage bolt heads in the corners and center mullion area of a window. And what do you usually see on an older wooden garage door? Yep, carriage bolts.
Then there's that tell-tale header. Just begging for a closer look.
