Guess what, I am in Faribanks again, finally finishing up in moving out of my wife’s mother’s property and going through the associated ‘stuff’ we have here. Nice article. FYI, I have found home for about 75% of that Intus glass. I decided to cut one down and make it a 45×50 rather than the 51×50 it was, cause I needed that exact size (because I did not lay things out quite right in my addition on our house in Taos). Wow was that an experience. Yowsah. It is HARD to make windows. Duh! I ended up getting super spacer material, it is awesome. I have been trying to make other custom size windows and will continue this lunacy project cause I have so much glass still.
On another note, have you done a post on exterior shade options? Seems you had a photo oe exterior venetian blinds. I have a number of friends who have been researching exterior insulated options and we have done a bunch of research and can share what we have found.
Also what is the cool cork bark looking like siding?
And lastly I am putting together an article on the exterior storm retro I did on my mother in laws house here and I will get it to you to consider. And might you be interested in occasionally having dyi energy retrofit success stories? Our friends who purchase my wife’s mothers house here slashed their energy use from 1000 gal of fuel oil to 200! We need these examples for people to see what is possible and doable.
thanks for all you do!
