Default Frame over basement windows?

I'd bet that someday for some reason you'll need to get to the inside
of those windows.

Having once lived in a basement with windows just like you describe, it
was still nice to open them from time to time for airflow. There
wasn't much of a view, of course.

I have 2 basement windows that are unusable since they are covered by a
large deck. I want to finish my basement and am thinking of just
framing over the windows and sheetrocking over them. I could insulate
them pretty good to prevent moisture issues.

Is this a bad idea, or should I remove the windows (they are in
concrete) and do something else....and what is the somethign else?
