To me they are not.

You could start with one and come to yoyr own conclusions.

Those windows would be all wood, no Permashield, they would also have a 3/8" Insulated Bulb Glass (if insulated at all) or monolithic (non-insulated). Add in approaching 60 years old and I would seriously consider replacement. Doing the work your self may buy you a few more years but they are due for replacement quite honestly.

I just want to see how long it takes and an honest accounting of your time and materials. This would be a great undertaking to look at the REAL cost of this for all the Restoration proponents.

If you'd rather invest time than money it can be a good value. When you replace wood windows for $24,000.00, you're adding $16,000.00 to the selling price of your home, a66% recovery.

Abatron is perfect for this.
