So there's an awful lot of people now reconsidering their windows.

Maybe I should fix my mortgage.

And there's

So some people are going, maybe I should just get the improvement done, the BER improvement by getting a deep rate of it done in my house so that now that I'm going to fix my interest rate to lock it in instead of dealing with inflation.
