SiriusPleiadian asked:


We rent a small cottage and it has double-paned windows. The windows in the kitchen collect considerable moisture between the two pane’s. After some work, we can open it and separate the pane’s…..but it is a pain
What can I put between the glass (there is about an inch of space) that will pull moisture from the air so the windows don’t fog up?
Thanks for your help!
Thank you for your responses. However, the pane’s are meant to open as they are on hinges. They “fold” out like an accordian. I’m looking for something economical I can do, as this is a rental and I don’t think it’ll be fixed.
Thanks!

What You Learn By Having Boys

1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house, 4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A 3-year old Boy’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all Four walls of a 20×20 ft. room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words “uh oh” it’s already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.

11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can’t walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCRs do not eject “PB & J” sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

A pane off of one of my double pane, argon gas filled windows is broken. At first glance, one would assume that it was done intentionally, except the screen over the window did not look tampered with. The temps in my area went from 30 to 60 in overnight, is it possible for my window to burst? I’m almost hoping it is because if not, that means someone tried to break into my basement. Any help woujld be appreciated!

slowturtle200 asked:


A large picture window measures 2.8 m by 3.1 m. At what rate will heat be conducted through the window when the room temperature is 21°C and the outside temperature is 0°C, for each of the following cases?

(a) the window has a single pane of glass 4.1 mm thick

(b) the window has a double pane of glass (a thermopane), where each pane is 1.5 mm thick, with an intervening air space of 2.6 mm (Assume that there is a constant temperature difference and consider conduction only.)

SusanB asked:


I have a central heating & cooling unit that is 21 years old & has a fan motor problem for the second time this spring. I am in north Alabama & am wondering if it might be cheaper to just replace it rather than repair after repair, so I wanted to price units, but don’t know what size I need. There is just under 2500 sq ft of living space & it is one level. It faces west, if that matters. All the windows are double pane, but we have two sets of glass doors that aren’t. The ducts are in the attic/crawl space & it is insulated. Our unit is also our source of propane heating. Let me know if more info is needed to estimate a unit size. Thanks!
One other question, what would you ballpark a new system for my home to cost? $1000-$2000, $2000 - $3000, $3000 - $4000, $4000 - $5000, etc? Thanks.

ev500cburke asked:


So I just installed a Titan tankless water heater. I’m not a hippy tree-hugger, mind you. I just HATE sending money to National Fuel. In any event, it got me thinking that if the water used in my boiler system was heated through this mechanism, my fuel use would decrease to virtually zero. While my electricity costs would increase, the increase should be less than the $300.00 monthly gas bill (and that’s the balanced billing rate… yeah, I’m getting screwed, and that’s AFTER insalling 30 brand new double-pane argon filled windows).

Do “flash heating” boilers exist (whereby the water is heated instantly as it passes through a tankless water heater)? If so, do they offer savings over traditional natural gas boilers, enough to warrant the investment? Because I’m not really buying into the whole “your best energy value” thing… what a crock is sh1t that is.

I would love to hear what you have to say.

Thank you.

Marge asked:


One of my large, double paned windows in my front room has condensation between the two panes. In the winter, there are drips. In the hot summer, it virtually goes away. I’m assuming it’s not sealed somewhere, but because it’s between the panes, I’m clueless what to do. Can I do something, or do I need to call a window guy?

bob808 asked:


Okay, so, let’s say, hypothetically, that you were placing a ladder against your house, and, again hypothetically, it slipped and broke your kitchen window.
Let’s say this window is a double pane, about 24″ wide X 45″ tall, and is set on a track to slide open sideways.
Hypothetically, if someone had this happen to them, and their mom was really mad, how much would it cost to replace the window, ballpark? It’s a pretty simple installation, we might even be able to do it ourselves. It just needs to be popped off the track and the new one popped on.

Thanks for any information that can help….hypothetically.
