From the Forum: Bringing More Light Into a Garden Level Kitchen

Balking at the cost of completely replacing a rear with a wall of glass, some homeowners are looking for budget-friendly options to let some more light inside. They are hoping to brighten up the kitchen, located on the garden level, and are now contemplating increasing the window height rather than blowing out the back wall. What permitting and costs should they expect for such a project? Will the pay-off be worth the expense?

Please chime in with your advice.
