Double-glazed Windows
The Real Bev
double-pane energy-efficient kind, and today I got a call from the
contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been
completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.
Helloooo........... Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am
automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast-talking sales guy
had told me last year -- that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for
themselves! Hellooooo? "It's been a year!" I told him.
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.
He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.

I'd have you publicly flogged if you hadn't enjoyed that so much the last time.

Come on, 'fess up. You laughed, right?

Nope, just smirked.

Are they also high impact?
Seriously - have you noticed any sizable reduction in energy usage?

I have no way of knowing. We don't heat the house in winter (SoCal, no need)
and started using the AC about the time we installed the windows. But hey, the
windows paid for themselves so it doesn't really matter.
