One customer had a center sash in a flat bay rotted at bottom. Simple replacement. Order correct size sash, and replace the old one. Caulk paint, haul off old sash and collect. Yahoos she hired scabbed a piece over rotted area. She admitted, when I handed her the bill, that she had paid more for messed up job than I charged to do it correctly.
