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?

Have you thought about framing the deck around the windows so that light
still makes it to the basement? They can still act as an emergency egress
if necessary. Also the appearance might make it stand out over so many
square balconies.
