I am happy your new landlord is so nice. make's all the difference. We
will have the keys to our new place on the first I can't wait. The man
is so nice said do what you need we wanted to put a cat door in and he
is fine with that. And there is a closet in living room with no door so
we want to put shelves so looks like a book case he loved that idea.
John is going to build me a ramp because it is about 5 feet off the
ground   and steps are hard. So it is nice to have someone that is so
agreeable. Good luck with the windows. We are putting the solar screens
all around the windows are good the screens will just add that extra
help. Still can't believe he didn't want pet deposit. We will get there
just before the Herons start nesting. I love that. He said there were 28
pairs just on the 2 streets where the house is the whole island is a
bird sanctuary. I love that. And if you cut a tree it has to be a dead
tree and you have to plant a new one right away.
Anyway enjoy your new landlord some can be difficult.
I would move Wed. if physically able but can't and of course sunday is
Super bowl sunday plus today we are moving my sister in law who thinks
moving means the people moving you do the packing and moving no one
likes moving her. So we hate asking our nephew's to move us a week or  2
weeks later plus all ours has to go up stairs )0:
John has a friend at work that will help but not till the week after
Super bowl

...not to be confused with the computer software...

Hello Everyone,

I have a new landlord (this is a *good* thing), and he is replacing the
windows in the duplex unit in which I live.  He is *so* kind as to ask me
what kind of windows I want!  Isn't that great?  It's an older house with
double-hung multipaned glass windows that are pretty but very energy
inefficient.

So.  He has given me a brochure from BetterBilt windows (this is not an
advertisement).  They make window that will help our place look like it did
before, but with double-paned glass, and I do believe it is a single pane
which has bars within that make it look like multipaned glass.

Under "Window Options" it say "Low Emissivity Glass."    It goes on to say
"...plus most of the sun's damaging ultraviolet light is filtered out,
protecting draperies, furniture, carpet [and lupus patients? {my addition}]
from fading.

So.  Have any of you guys had experience with this "Low Emissivity Glass?"
Would I be able to peek out and see the sun shine?  Little kids in the
neighborhood think I am a witch, because I keep all the windows closed, and
wear mostly black (I'm kidding here). But would I be able to open my
curtains?  that might be a landmark day....

Are they good windows?  Do they really help?  To what degree? What do y'all
think?

Thanks in advance,

Mary
