Excellent progress is being made on our clients Jeff and Sandra’s new home (seeking DOE Net Zero Energy Ready certification), The Sanctuary at Hope Farms. Drywall is up and we are moving steadily ahead to trim and finishes. Here the featured windows in the Great Room are shown but what is not shown is the fact that you are looking at anti-bird strike glass. A subtle haystack needle pattern printed on the glass, visible to birds yet invisible to us humans, helps to prevent bird strikes. You might be surprised to learn that bird strikes account for upwards of one billion bird deaths per year according to the American Bird Conservancy!
