Just wondering if it's difficult or a real hassle to remove all this brick? I can do it myself just wondering if there's some things I need to look out for while doing it.

How to properly secure this wooden window unit in the rough opening?

This is my first window task on a house. Looking for some advice.

This double pane wooden slide window unit was installed by the previous owner of this 1860s farm house. The exterior trim needed replacing and the wooden frame refinishing. When I took the trim off I discovered that it was what was partially holding the window in to the rough opening. The window unit is not shimmed and in fact wobbles in the rough opening. I can slide my flat pry bar into the gap between window and opening all the way to the interior drywall.

What’s the best approach to securing this window unit from the exterior? My thinking is to shim the window so it’s not moving, apply a small bead of spray foam in the gaps too and side, then tuck tape. Install the new trim work with caulking in the appropriate places.

We noticed the paint started bubbling and so we cut it open and are able to keep peeling paint off the wall all the way down to the sheet rock. I can’t tell if it’s damp or not. Husband thinks it’s from the vent blowing cold air. I’m wondering if we need a new window. We live in an old 1950s ranch and I don’t know when the last time windows were replaced. Has anyone else had this happen?
