April 28th - the windows now have their panes in place! We chose double glazed windows for a few reasons:
- to help block out some heat in summer and cut down on electricity bills
- sound insulation. Although the sound of the waves lapping the shore below our window is lovely, I don't want to be kept awake by it at night, or any other noise for that matter.
- typhoons! We're on the 17th floor (top floor) of our apartment block, which isn't that high in Hong Kong (we used to live on the 45th!), however we're also on a hill, and we're right on the shore line looking over quite a vast expanse of water. So we hope some extra strength windows will help keep us braced against Hong Kong's summer storms!
