And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Imagine that view at night. During a storm. The heating bill!
It's probably owned by a billionaire business man who uses it to hold conferences and make deals with customers so it and the upkeep are a tax write off.
Yes. Anyone can do it, but few do. They are small thinkers that specialize in complaining, and envying others.
I'm talking about a business license. They're inexpensive, and they give you the opportunity to do things you wouldn't normally be able to do.
Like, for example, write-off 1/3 of ALL your housing and transportation costs. If you learn how to do it right at the end of the year your ass pocket is fatter and the IRS is sated. I've been a self employed business owner since 1986. Being an employee stunts your mental growth.
So dislike vaulted ceilings, they are just wasted space. Yes, heating bill is sky high as having a house with 14ft ceiling I know. That window view, the expense of hiring someone to keep it clean, the drapes another expense to have custom drapes made. What the wealthy spend on this stuff and only see it maybe once a year I consider it a waste, rent a hotel for a week its cheaper.
My guess is it's 25' x 14' of window. What I'm not seeing is bird strikes on the glass. I have a 10' x 8' window in the back of the house and get 3 to 4 strikes a year. Some are stunners and some are fatal. And yes, this January's gas and electric bill is going to be a stunner. We got almost 4" of snow in southern Alabama.
My bride has an art degree from UC Berkeley and has absolutely no concept of 'heat rising'. Hence, she has no clue why her dream home with 16 foot ceilings is always cold and my old Miner's Shack of a place in Camptonville, California, with 7 1/2 foot ceilings, was always toasty warm. But I love her anyway. Sigh.
Better hope that it low-e glass, or else it won't just be the heating bill that will be high, the electric bill for running the AC will be high too.
ReplyDeleteIf one can afford to live there, heating?AC bills are of no concern.
ReplyDeleteI can't, so I do. And the property taxes. Insurance. Etc, etc.....
DeleteYou're pulling our legs, CW. Everyone knows about the piles of cash raked in via your Amazon shills! (kidding)
DeleteReally? If you can afford that place in that location, just throw another bundle of "franklins" in the furnace.

No place to even set a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteWonder how much that single pane of glass weighs?
ReplyDeleteIf you can afford the rent, you're not worried about the heat bill.
