A plan might help? But I agree with the above.
How deep is the window ledge?
Wall construction on the inside?
Possible to utilise more space by removing some of the internal wall if it’s just studwork?
I wouldn’t use parquet in a kitchen. Worst case, find a laminate/LVT that closely matches the parquet.
Granted, I was using reclaimed parquet, and had access to the equipment but…
Could you get access to a thicknesser?
I used reclaimed parquet (25mm teak) and removed all the old bitumen...
I have a small round usb Rechargable light.
It is in a porch and can come on when it senses movement.
I am guessing it’s ok for outside, will try to find a link.
EDIT. Mine is nearly a year old and has only been charged once.
It has sat on the wall of a porch although it says it is a ceiling...
I appreciate that this is a diy site, but…
I had an old door do this and did manage to do it myself, although way too long ago to remember. I had an old mate help me. If things go wrong, it goes with a bang.
I would ring a local garage door repair guy. It won’t take long.
A mate that I was at school with did a lot of model aircraft building at the age of about 12. I don’t think his dad had much involvement. Balsa, scalpels and glue.
I’d say the 12 year old would be fine with minor supervision, using a Dremel. The 9 year old would need close supervision.

Not worth the hassle to diy
You could rig up an A team/Macgyver contraption
A reception bell on a stand to set the height and a pivoted bar that is toppled by the ejected toast...
I would try a small and increasing masonry drill bit first, if you don’t have access to an SDS.
It’s worth a go.
A 3lb canvas is pretty light. If you can get the screws deeper then the canvas frame into the wall and use enough, it will stay up.
A couple of inches/50mm is fine
