Worst window replacement ever? It gets my vote. That's an abomination. It's wrong on so many levels.If you want some new pearly whites, please go to the dentist to get them not the local discount big box hardware mega-store.
Below are some web resources to help provide guidance for would be destroyers of historic wood windows. As you'll read, your home likely has bigger issues than windows. Insulate your attic. Plug up your foundation. Weatherstrip your doors.Replacing windows doesn't make economic sense. Put the crowbar down and please slowly step away from the windows.
