Hi Skydawggy,

Thanks so much for replying.

Yes, that's right, the entire sash as you described it is missing. Part of the fun of getting a great deal on a foreclosure.

At the moment I have the two windows boarded up and will probably end up replacing them entirely. I am guessing since I can't find a manufacturer's name on the window anywhere that they are probably not quality replacements. The question now is whether to spend the money on quality replacements for two, or go for the low-end to match the rest of the replacements in the house.

I'd say it depends on what your long term plans for the property are. While it goads me to see anyone buy low end windows, I also understand that sometimes budget constraints determine the final decision. I would say to invest in a good window if you plan on staying 5 years or more. If finances prevent you from doing all the windows at once with a quality window, then I'd do them a few at a time as you can afford to, as opposed to going for the quick fix of doing them all at once with a cheapo.
