Not sure what route to take for wood frame windows
New-to-me house. The picture basically sums up the state of most of my windows and I'm undecided whether to restore them for less cost or just start gradually replacing them all. Wood frame, double pane, 1996. None of them have screens (it's a long story), and I haven't tested all the cranks on the ones that use cranks because I'm afraid of not being able to close them with no screens and bug season starting. On the plus side, none of the windows are showing any indication of the glass seals being bad, there's no fogging. I know wood frame windows can last a good while with proper maintenance, these windows are 29 years old now. But I'll have to get screens for all of them, strip, re-caulk, prime and repaint, and probably have to fix a couple of cranks. Is it still worth it to do or am I just going to have to suck up replacement costs in 10 years anyway? https://preview.redd.it/lx6i03r1gsue1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88f8065df6005a2c93a1983a9f271c5de4efca80 submitted by /u/SniffMyDiaperGoo [link] [comments]
