I know there are thousands of homes in TV with this arrangement with insulated glass sliders installed but it wouldn’t work for us.
If you are patient, you will lose your hearing, like the rest of us and the street noise won't bother you.


HOWEVER, you can wait too long to buy a home and lose the home you really wanted. That happened to us. Half an hour too late.
