You need to go through a window company and have them custom-made. They’ll come over to your house and take measurements then build them at their factory and then install them. It will take a few weeks and will be expensive, but for my money it’s worth it.
Where I live Andersen is probably the best as they come with a forever warranty on everything including the glass itself, but they may or may not be in your area. There are plenty of other reputable companies as well. Again, this is not a cheap option.
Anyone who has worked in high-end construction can tell you that they’re very common in rich people’s houses. The reason you don’t see them more often is that most people don’t want to pay for them. Americans tend to value the size of their houses more than anything else, and since McMansion developers know this, windows are one very easy way to cut costs.
They’re also a lot more common in older homes (like mine) because if you’re going to replace all your windows (which you should do for energy reasons), you might as well get the good ones.
Yeah I’m a little confused too. The thing with windows is that you get what you pay for. It’s ridiculous to think that there’s some kind of window design that’s magically available in Europe but not in the US. There are probably designs that are more common in different parts of the world, but it’s absolutely not the case that if a homeowner wants to pay for it they can’t get whatever they want in the US.
I have to think this post was made by someone who knows nothing about construction.
They aren’t that difficult to repair if you have basic carpentry skills. All you have to do is take the sash out and open the side of the frame and you’ll have access to the weight and pulley. They’re designed to be pretty easy to do. YouTube probably has hundreds of videos on it. You just want to be careful about lead paint if it’s an old house and you’re producing dust or disturbing old paint.
Yeah, my Nancy Reagan does similar shit on the regular.
She’s nearly lived up to her namesake in the sense that she doesn’t really like anyone and is pretty strong on the “just say no” aspect of things.
I love her anyway in spite of her being a cold hearted bitch. In spite of all her great upbringing, she’s never met anyone she wasn’t prepared to scratch or swipe at, drawing random blood.
This is a pretty stupid point. Increasingly consequential national elections are exactly what you would expect in a country that, like ours, has become increasingly polarized since the Reagan revolution of the 1980s. The right keeps getting crazier and crazier, so of course the stakes keep going up.
Edit; it’s also, simultaneously, to be expected that in a politically polarized country, in which each side has roughly equal electoral power, that no radical change will occur.
I don’t know why this should be an unpopular opinion. It seems to me more like a truth claim or a hypothesis that can probably be supported or refuted on the basis of research.
I read “Anthem” when I was about 19, I think, and at the time I liked it. I tried to read “Atlas Shrugged” when I was in my 30s, but didn’t get very far before I put it down in as a waste of time. There’s one data point for you.
