The windows alone would be $25k where I live
That's why we use linux here.
Can I get them to install an arch?
It’s a tad disingenuous to compare windows here, and I think $25k is still a bit of an exaggeration.
$25k would get you top of the line shit and enough area for making a “glass house” of that size when looking at material costs alone.
Talking triple pane, extra thick, argon filled, tempered and impact resistance panes with a UV filter and any additional cost adders for the (foam filled) anodized aluminum frames.
Labor costs are another thing.
Ok, I guess I meant above builder quality double pane windows that are installed for you.
