Mar 2	asked	How can I remove paint from this window's aluminum track?
Mar 2	comment	What type of mortar should I use? @HerrBag, I'm in Maryland, between Baltimore and DC. I'm not sure what caused the split. The house was built in 1967. The crack is over a basement window. (Although, it doesn't extend all the way to the basement window.)... I recently bought the place. The gutter in this area used to overflow. I've fixed the gutter. I'm not sure if that had something to do with it. The foundation looks fine. Any ideas as to what caused the crack?

Jan 21	comment	How do I determine the origin of a window's leak? Thanks bcworkz. I got up on a ladder and found that the top corner of the window's exterior was rotted and water can penetrate behind it. Also, there was no cap or flashing on the top of the window. The weep holes are probably shot as well.
