What do they use for insulation?


@Desertdi   Double or triple paned glass?


@Kachina624     Yeah!   Triple pane to intensify the sun!    It's 113° right now..........instant mummification.   Wouldn't have to complain about my cold feet any more........      di


@Desertdi    Tint, lots of tint.

 

113° huh, have you warmed up yet?


@Kachina624      I admit I am warm enough....but this might be a little of an overkill.     Then, there are the fires.     I was thinking if I have to evacuate, I would drive over to NM and price property........but NOW you folks don't want us coming in because of the Covid.   Bummer(!!)   di   

 

PS:   Breaking news on TV right now......AZ might have to close up again.    Nothing "definite" yet.

@Desertdi   I bet re-closing will go over big.

@Kachina624    Lines for testing are 3 miles long.   Turnaround for results is 7 days, or more.

@wilma 

I like the modern style of pic #1.  It seems to offer the most privacy.

The other 2, not at all.  As is, they're too open.  Modern isn't really my style as I prefer the coastal/cottage style.

I love modern, so I would move right in.

Beautiful to look at but definitely need a dark bedroom to

fall asleep in and any outdoor lights would drive me crazy.

 

Also I don't like bright light blaring through first thing in the

morning but I am usually up pretty early.

@desertrat8      I don't recall......I switch around.    However, as I mentioned, it was NOT a definite statement from Ducey.    He is only saying he is going to PAUSE REOPENINGS at this time.    Kind of ambiguous.....

Agreed, @wilma ,  never to live in!  Too many problems, and just too much tedious "work" to try to maintain a reasonably normal, private life within such walls.

 

The architect Philip Johnson was famous for creating his "Glass House" in Connecticut in 1949.  He lived in it for over 50 years-- but on his wooded property, he also had a conventional guest house made of brick, and I believe an underground art gallery!
