Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Great forum here.
I have a casement window which the bottom part of the window frame is severely rotten. Does anyone know if it is possible to replace that piece of wood on the bottom?
If it is too far gone, can you purchase just the window and have it go into the existing frame, or do I have to replace the whole thing? (what you don't see in the picture is there are 4 windows. It looks like a bay window but 4 individual casement windows.
Again, any advice much appreciated - I assume the rot was caused by a clogged gutter that went unnoticed for an undetermined amount of time. We had one terrible storm where I saw the water pouring over the window, however it is in a rental side so I never noticed an issue. Could of been getting rained on for several years for all I know! The rest of the wood around it appears similar to what you see - the wood looks clearly like it had gotten wet but is all solid (no rot or softness).
thanks,
Justin
