My plan is to first remove the window and steel frame from my basement wall (which is poured concrete), then drill some holes for some rebar, add the rebar and then form the inside and outside with plywood. Once complete, I'll then fill the window with concrete.

I haven't removed the window frame yet, but I'm wondering about how a basement window frame is typically installed in a poured concrete wall? Will it be difficult to remove? I figured I would just start cutting away at it was a sawz-all and then prying it out.

Does this sound like the best way to seal off an existing basement window?
