| Thanks Chandler and XSleeper for your replies.
I think that I probably will take advantage and replace the windows as I am doing the siding project. Some of them have fogged up the double panes and I think it is a lot easier to install new windows once the wall is stripped down to the 2X4 and a lot safer install doing a "new construction" type of installation of windows with fins rather than a retrofit replacement window with no fins later.
Xsleeper, Belive it or not... I have Masonite lap siding and NO sheathing what so ever behind it. The only thing between the siding and the 2X4 is the black paper which I assume is the weather barrier (kind of a joke as a WB if you ask me). The house was built in the early 90's by Ryland Homes... Pretty cheese uh?
thanks again.
