the pain of panes


The order on our windows specified that the west, north, and east sides of the house were to have one pane of 1/4 inch glass and one pane of 1/8 inch glass. These 3 sides have the most freeway noise exposure and that combination of glass thicknesses is almost as good as laminated glass at minimizing the transmission of sound.....Sadly our order was messed up and despite being invoiced for the upgrade, the windows were done in the standard 1/8 inch and 1/8 inch configuration. After a 10 week wait, the new windows arrived and the French Door Store guys came out and put them in. It is noticeably more quiet...

Out of the gutter and into the cold..

Although the stucco guys completed their job a couple of weeks ago, some minor cracks developed in 3 areas and they have come back to patch them up..... Having the scaffold up for the stucco guys allowed our gutter guy to hang the final piece.... On Wednesday of this week the guys from Airsmiths installed the air conditioning condenser...If you're wondering if that is the American Standard Allegiance 14 Super Efficiency Condenser, you would be right! It is made in Texas in the same factory that Trane air conditioners are made at. http://www.americanstandardair.com/Products.asp?Section=homeOwners&ProductID=7&CategoryID=16&SuperCategoryID=1
