Depends. Is this a total brick home or just a brick veneer? Meaning is it solid brick all the way through? Or does it have wood framing behind the brick? Are the old windows wood? Are you replacing the jambs too or installing replacement windows that fit inside the old frames? Alot of choices aren't there? May not hurt to get a few estimates from some window companies. You can also hire a local guy, a one man operation or handyman. Just check references and talk to previous customers first. Get everything in writing first. If you are dead-set on doing this yourself, check into a class at Home Depot. They even have DVD's out now with how-to knowledge. Windows aren't cheap, so make sure and do your homework first. Good Luck.

If the new windows come with a flap arount the edge for nailing, simply cut them off. Get silicon I or II (ie. 100% silicon caulk) wilth a calking gun go all of the way around the rough opening (assuming the window is the correct size for the opening) and place the window in. Make sure the window is plumb and true (level). The silicon will solidify to help keep air out and the window will be very secure in place. Easy enough, good luck!

Knock/cut out a opening--frame around opening with wood--insert new window(s) and seal . Piece of cake.
