"Scabbing" window
I have some wooden windows that are rotting. One contractor
wants to go through and replace them. Another wants to "scab" them. According to him that means taking out the bad part, milling a replacement and then "grafting" it on the good part. This has a couple of pluses, not the least of which is MUCh less cost and we also don't have to mess with restaining the insides since they were left intact. The home is about $400,000, so I have some concerns about matching the current windows outside and also that it might look, well "scabby". Any comments? ---- Ideologue: noun.
