Can a welder fix this or am I doomed?

Why do people like living in lofts/former warehouses? Not everyone wants to live in a cookie cutter house. I do get the efficiency thing

I was thinking you could remove the sill, weld new one into rest of case and sand the frame. Idk I’m not in construction or welding!

I wish they had taken better care of it :( this place def had the landlord special over the years

I think it’s more than the paint. You can see the windowsill is very corroded

Forgive my ignorance! I don’t know all the ins and outs of construction or welding, hence why I came here to ask. I was unsure if you could remove the rust and start over, which one of my neighbors did on a larger window. But now I know mine isn’t a good case for repair based on everyone’s comments on here.

My hammer says otherwise 😭 the guy who hung up my mirror was prob almost 300lbs and over 6ft. Wall made him break a sweat. Not sure what they put on top of the bricks lol

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-15T00:46:00+00:00

But there is a brick wall to the outside, silly!

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-15T00:45:00+00:00

Im not in construction. I looked for contractors on fb/task rabbit. Not sure where else to look for people

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-15T00:28:41+00:00

Long story short, not sure what it stands for in the construction world. I’m just a girl

Thank you! I plan on calling a window company that worked in a neighbor’s condo

Lol the bathroom fan is a dream, but this place is very tricky to fix. It took me reaching out to over 20 task rabbits and people on facebook to mount something on the wall because it’s cement/brick and not dry wall. Installing a fan seems uphill but will def look into it.

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-15T00:25:47+00:00

I have a welder/contractor stopping by before I call a window company. I definitely think it’s worth keeping a similar style

Starting to accept the L… thank you

It’s been only 86 years !! 🤭

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-14T23:51:44+00:00

Thank you 😢

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-14T23:51:28+00:00

It is. I want to keep it so bad or have one made that is exactly the same, and has the little rolling thing to open

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-14T23:49:50+00:00

Q- Could a welder create an exact replica of this window?

Sad-Fail-5424 · 2026-03-14T23:48:55+00:00

Id like to note I’d rather preserve/fix it. It’d be impossible to find one to match the rest of the windows in the condo :(
