Later in the summer and we are getting back to working on the windows, this time we are installing the passive solar windows on the south side.

These windows have a special low e coating that lets in the wave lengths that carry heat into your home (and fade your furniture), but then trap the lower wavelengths that try to escape again.

The bit about the extra blocking above the windows was that we had built those bucks following an earlier copy of the plans before Pella changed their transom sizes... We had correct plans available, but I had accidentally used an old copy and made the bucks 3 inches too tall. Oh well... Live and learn.

Perfect timing. I have a bunch of curved walls. Do you have a good contact for Pella?
