Hello Judith,
You mentioned land available in your area? Could you be more
specific about the location where you are and any advise about the
area? We are located in Clovis, NM and have been wondering about the
possbility of relocating.

use quilted fabric (even insert a layer of mylar in the middle if you
want) and attach the tapes to the back and the hardware along the top
of the window opening. It was a long time ago but I would think they
are still available. And I know of 2 lovely tracts of land for sale
in my neighborhood in Northern New Mexico. There's a lot of stuff on
the market here.

fold. Rings placed on the face at the location of the desired folds
will allow a cord to go from top to bottom for lifting the shade.

> Subject: [papercreters] windows shading/insulationMy latest
insulated curtain design idea eliminates magnetic seals. It is a
simple roll down shade design where a rod or tube acts as a spool.
When open, the spool is at the top of the window with the insulating
and decorative fabric rolled around it. The top edge of the fabric is
permanantly attached to the top casing. When closed, the entire spool
decends unfurling the fabric as it goes. The spool rolls along two
sloped tracks on each side of the window that are about 1/4" per foot
out of plumb. The sloped ramps on each side allow the fabric and
spool to rest against them and eliminate air convections. Depending
upon the stiffness of the fabric and the width of the window, dowels
or other stiffeners are sewn into the fabric horizontally at vertical
intervals. Gravity holds it all in place. Keep in mind that the
window wells I anticipate are deep, around 2 feet. There is plenty of
room to hold this.Of course, first things first. I don't have my land
to build on. I'm not really too worried about window treatments. I
need to buy my view before I look to frame it.
