I really don't know what he is getting at with the complaints. Not
sure if he's trying to say we'll have to fix it or what. He has had it
looked at and was told his "patches" were only that, temporary patches,
and that the windows would need to be replaced. Before he starts
blaming my tree I just wanted to make sure this was not common.


When I bought this house, the inspectors poked a very skinny awl under the
edge of the siding which covers my sills, and found that two were rotted.
They're both in shade. They showed me how to remove the siding, told me to
chisel out the old wood and replace with treated wood. I cannot find the
words to tell you how traumatized I was after calculating the immense cost
involved. Something like $8.00, perhaps as much as $14.73.
