here is a thing i do not understand

[fox]

(I mean. There are many things I don't understand. But some of them I'm not ready to talk about today.)

Say you're building a house. It has the usual things houses have: walls, floors, ceilings. And windows! But it only has windows in some of the exterior walls. That is: if you're going by the outside of the house, one whole wall of the house utterly lacks windows.

I'm seeing more and more of this in new construction lately and I do. not. get it. Anyone want to take a stab at an explanation?

I wonder if your swamp is anywhere near mine? (There's actually one in the yard here, but I'm on eight acres so there's forest, too). I hear you on the summer power bills. For us too the A/C is on 24/7 and yeah, there goes any discretionary spending. I feel like I need to take out a loan to buy dental floss or anything else even sort of "unnecessary" this time of year.

(Also, have gone from the apt. with three windows - where the power bills were even more killer than the ones I'm dealing with now - described in my other comments to a house with, omg, let me think...14 of them here, and some of them take up entire walls, while the rest are floor to ceiling, and...power bills are still pretty killer - but extra fresh air, especially on cooler morning/evenings is a nice benefit, regardless.)
