The fascinating aspect of this to me is that someone would go to Ireland 
for custom made windows. I'd be very interested in the situations, 
thought process and decision making behind that.

Is this the "globalized economy" at work in the trades and crafts? I 
once heard of a preservation project that shipped Maine granite to China 
to be sized, shaped and carved, and then shipped the finished stones 
back to this country for installation in the old building. Could this 
actually cost the project less? Who pays for the environmental and 
health damage from the exhaust of all that diesel fuel?
