Wacky Weds: A comedy of errors

Windows are great as they help let in natural light, fresh air when opened & hmmm, wow…

This window had the drywall removed from one side & amazingly you can see all the way outside… But wait there is more

That is the outside of the window – nope, no J Channel or integrated J-Channel on the window, it is just butted up right against it. So much for at least attempting to keep rain, air or other items out. But wait it gets better – as you might have guessed based on the first picture this is a bunch of condos & all of them have the same bad install…

Heh lets install a new window, ignore all the original problems & just foam around it – yeah that will work great & no one will ever know. Now if they will just fix that eyesore of having to small of a shudder (yes that is spelled correctly because no one can call that a shutter) on only one side.
