[quote=faterikcartman]. . . As for my wife and I, we like it COLD in the house, so while we like natural light, we don’t want heat coming through the windows.[/quote]
faterikcartman, all things being equal, if you like the property (I know decent ranch-style properties are harder to find) and the room you will spend a lot of time in will be too hot for much of the year due to the sun burning thru a window, consider purchasing the property anyway and immediately installing “Low E” window(s). They have a slight green or grey tint (dep. on mfr) and argon gas between the panes and make a WORLD of difference in keeping the heat out of the home. There are federal tax credits available on the purchase of most models of these windows thru 12/31/10 (tax year 2010).
