Repairing windows with no sill pan flashing
Level area below window is a water funnel that creates rot.
My warning to the world is please stop doing this. I see this condition with stucco under the window, with no sill, and the stucco isn't even pitched away from the wall. Standing water soaks through the stucco and rots the framing.
The one coat stucco is stripped off this 4 year old house revealing rotted framing.
The picture shows cutting under the widow to put on a sill flashing without taking out the window.
