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.

Re: No Broken Windows
I inspected one on a golf course that had every single window covered with 1/2" wire mesh.
Can you say ease of egress?

Re: No Broken Windows
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.

Re: No Broken Windows
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!
