Mine cranks, at this time, from the bottom right. It is a wood window
and the window has become misshapen over time. There is no privacy
concern at all. And no stink. Just no other ventilation. If there is a
half window blower that fits in the window and would exhaust the moist
air, that would make double hung look good.
Any further responses and suggestions are welcomed.Thanks.
