this window is very large and has single pane glass thus it is not energy efficient.
after running into a new issue plans are now down to 3.
the issue is the new low E glass I was going to put in has a 1/2 inch metal band around the edge of the glass. the lip on the frame is 1/4 inch so that will leave 1/2 to 9/16 of an inch of the band showing. I could put a thicker trim piece on the outside to hide the band and ADD trim around the inside of each frame to hide it. another $100 in trim and a lot more work. this is option 1

option 2, and the one we are leaning towards is to remove all the horizontal pieces of wood and put in 4 pieces of glass. I would still have to trim the inside but it would be easier and probably come out better than cutting 64 pieces to do each window.
for option 1 i would also have to cut 64 pieces for the outside.

option 3 is to replace the broken glass, and the other 4 i cracked and leave it as it was.

the other plan was to paint the inside white. the bottom part has nicks in it from kids banging toys and if i need to i can fill any holes on the vertical parts and the bottom.

for option 2 it does not look like it would be hard to remove the horizontal pieces since they are all individual. (famous last words).
