Not only does the sash frame have rot clear thru, there's a BB hole in the outer glass pane. This may have bought time appearance-wise, but it's just a band-aid.Some years ago when I was restoring all my sashes, I felt one was beyond hope. Years before that we had the exterior framing wrapped with aluminum. I have worked on all the sashes to restore them, and this has held well so far.
