Please use windows that are large enough to use as fire excapes.  Even
though cob will not burn, a flaming, smoking bed will be enough to cause
the need for a quick exit.

After hearing the failure rate for most brands of double-pane windows,
I've pretty much decided to site-build my own windows.  I'm not sure
of the details of how I'll do it though.
