This gives a good safety margin for humidity swings. For performance regulation, then, I will continue to push the window. I have always been anally retentive with bedding, but this thread has got me re thinking with regards to soft wood frames. I know that Leroy is aware of all the variables in this area, but when teaching a class you have to come up with a standard that will work for almost every one. Tech's are often looking for a simple magic bullet to cure all ill's. If you find one let me know. No Black and White answers in this business, just a lot of passion. What I do day to day, and what I will teach, and preach, is often very different. The old adage, "A little knowledge is very dangerous thing." is very true. Regards Roger
