[Greenbuilding] Windows

[Clarke Olsen]

In 1975, my wife & I moved into an abandoned church, built in 1852. It was quite satisfying to rebuild the original windows, 
put together with pegs. A later window, Mohawk brand, put in in 1910, got the heave as a low water mark in window history.

They are usually made of better quality materials, and better workmanship. Than anything you can buy new today. If in the restoration, you take steps to make them more airtight they payback on the restoration will be relatively quick.
