Thread: No Broken Windows

Had an inspection today where the seller thought that bragging rights was due since they lived on a golf course lot and had never had a broken window.

Little did they understand the concept of what "lost thermal seals" were.

They had 38 windows with evidence of lost seals.

I inspected one on a golf course that had every single window covered with 1/2" wire mesh.
Can you say ease of egress?

If you've ever been to a public golf course in Beirut, Oops, I mean LAs Vegas you would understand their selling point. But.I guess the close calls just scared the gas out of them windows.

Ted,

I know windows are a real pain in the ... , but they can also be a real pane.

Ok, never mind...my brain isnt working correctly today

On some of the larger houses in my area (there is a lot of money here and a lot of big luxury homes) it is not uncommon to find 30+ window openings in the house - thats openings, not upper and lower panes. Especially the ones out by the lake or with views of the Hill Country

About a 12 years ago when I was selling and installing window blinds and shutters (trying in vain to get out of the residential construction biz) I sold a job with over 40 windows needing coverings. If only all the homes I sold to were like that I could have retired early!

Thanks Jerry


What would I do with out someone looking out for me. Spell check just doesn't fix idiots. I *dew* have a bad habit of doing that.

We have a guy here in town that business is a play on those words.

Here's his card.
