I had the opportunity to <br />photograph the exterior of the house and inspect the windows inside as well. Following is the breakdown of that inspection. <br />West side (front) no storm windows on this side <br />First floor <br />1 -large double hung window to the north of the front door <br />-window is in fair shape structurally but has been screwed in place which has damaged the sashes and the pulleys have <br />been filled with clear caulk. <br />I -fixed window to the south of the front door <br />-window is non-operable and has been caulked in place. Structurally sound but removal of caulk and sash may be <br />difficult <br />Second floor <br />4 -double hung windows <br />• -all four windows have rotted meeting rails on both upper and lower sashes. Three out of the four sills are split with <br />deep crevices. Those will also need repair or replacement. Only one of these windows were operable <br />North side <br />First floor <br />I -double hung window towards rear <br />-lower sash is missing meeting rail. Sill is rotted and upper sash is screwed shut <br />3 -double hung windows in single bank <br />-these windows have a rotted common sill. The windows have been screwed shut, caulked pulleys and severely <br />damaged lower sashes <br />1 -double hung window toward front <br />-lower sash framework is broken and rotted at corner. <br />Second floor <br />1 -double hung window <br />-lower sash is rotted through and has its joints have separated. Sleeping porch <br />1 -double hung window <br />-rotted sill and side jamb, caulked pulleys <br />1 -stationary window <br />-located in closet, cracked sill sash is soft, but not rotted <br />1 -double hung window toward front of house <br />-window has rotten and broken lower sash, sill is buckled. <br />East side (rear) <br />First floor <br />3 -double hung windows in a single bank <br />-2 of the windows are 6 over I patterned. These differ from the 1 over 1 pattern though most of the house, may not be <br />original. The bank has a rotted common sill. The lower left has dropped over an inch due to water infiltration. The <br />framework as a whole is rotted 3 to 4 inches from the sill up. <br />1 -covered window opening unveiled 10/l/18. No window jamb or pieces remaining <br />I -stationary window boarded up. No sash remains, was used to hold air conditioner. Sill is water rotted. <br />Second floor <br />. 4 -double hung windows <br />11 <br />
