I look forward to the article. I am a contractor doing historic restoration in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I have talked for years against replacement windows vs. payback but with little success. Finally someone who agrees with me. I live in an 1882 Victorian that thankfully has 90% of the original windows. I also own a few other old buildings from the 1880's that were converted to apartments in the 1950's. I have had to gradually replace the 1950's Pella windows because they are so bad and not repairable but the original wood double hung ones from the 1880's that remain are still fine and easy to repair/restore. There should be a good business in about 20-25 years in going back and taking out the crap they are installing now and rebuilding the original style!
