Replacement Windows

I'm such a rebel, with my 'non-tinted' windows. I swear, the govt. is way too involved in our lives. Building codes say I have to put tinted windows in my house to make it more energy efficient. Well, screw you Mr. Sam, I happen to like to see out my windows. Besides, I have shade trees, and the only windows that even get direct sunlight are the ones that face south. You know, the ones that let more light in when the sun drops to the south in the winter ... when it's cold, and people want some extra heat from the sun.
Damn govt. regulations, won't somebody save us from idiocy ... oh yeah, Ron Paul. Please win!




What do you guys think of the music in this video?

Haha, wow, I had no idea they force you to install tinted windows in the states. The whole idea is really counterintuitive, considering you're usually not allowed to install tinted windows in cars (not even a 5% window tint!).
I live in Canada, and it seems like the tinted window law???at least in respect to your home???isn't universal. Here in Ontario (Ottawa, specifically), nothing is set in stone about window tints. In fact, I had just an Ottawa windows company renovate my home last month, and they mentioned nothing of it.
Anyway, that law seems pretty draconian, but I guess I would support it because of its positive environmental impact. They should give you the choice for alternatives, though.
PS
I love your build a home "e-video book." Sometimes you just can't explain something well enough without using video.


Windows are very important part of our house and think it is nice thought to enjoy the nature at home. Through the window we will see the outside of our house and feel the nature very easily. You may try to install your windows and doors at http://gtawindows.on.ca/windows/double-slider-window
