Ah the mess.....It's exciting, yet freaky. It turns out that there is termite damage, but not much. The window is coming out and being replaced with a high energy star compliant window but the real problem, because let's face it there are always problems with an old house, is the fact that when this "new" window in the 1950's was put in they just cut the studs and did no reinforcement whatsoever. So that coupled with termite damage and there's not too much holding up that section of the outside wall.
