Mother Nature had nothing on me; I was in the control, or so I thought, until I spotted that same flea-bitten bird on the beam again. Pecking on my glass window, I tried scaring it away. It looked in my direction and didn’t flinch. So I raised the blind and yelled (yes, yelled), “IT’S WAR NOW!” He flew to the fence

Efficient Building Windows Energy efficient windows have multiple layers of glass. The reason for this is because the more layers of glass you have the better it insulates the house.

The thickest an airspace should be is 1 inch because any thicker than that will cause the glass of the window to no longer
