Trying to fix a drafty window myself turned into a whole weekend project

Ngl, I thought I could just slap some new weather stripping on my bedroom window in maybe an hour. The old stuff was totally shot, and I figured it was a simple swap. After pulling the old stripping out, I found the whole bottom sash was rotted and the frame had a quarter inch gap I never saw before. That 'quick fix' turned into two full days of cutting new wood, sealing, and painting. Has anyone else had a simple repair blow up like that on them?

Ugh, that's the worst! It's always the hidden damage you don't see until you start.

Wait, a quarter inch gap? How did you not feel that draft before?
