Not windows just frames!

Glass looks fine.

The whole place is a tear down. Everything in the home needs to be replaced. The sill was like a wafer after 40 years of negative drainage. Dead animals. I stopped taking pictures after a while and just left. Gas meter out front needed emergency service (almost knocked me over). It was like storm chasers except the home was on the ground.

Th seller's been offered one million dollars for his land. It's just an oversize lot surrounded by an $$ industial park. He'll perk up I'm sure.
