guest room windows, day4

More progress updates from the guest room window restoration. As you can see above, the sills needed work. This is actually a 1" strip of concrete that meets the slight incline of the sill and joins it to the wooden sill just above. I'm not sure if they meant to do it this way or they miscalculated the angles of the concrete sill when they were building the house, and fixed it with the concrete strip. Either way, these areas are definitely showing their age. I happily ignored this issue when I did the first set of windows on the rear of the house 2-3 years ago. But we obviously need a permanent solution here.

My contractor suggested yanking the ones that were falling apart and replacing with a piece of quarter round. We filled the cavity with some expanding foam to minimize drafts, caulked & painted. You can see one in progress in the below pic. Don't worry -- we're on the home stretch here. Note stain on interior sill.. :)
