Guests and tourists note that their peculiar windows make the house look as if it was upside down. The urban legend goes on to say that this \u201cmishap\u201d was the result of cost-cutting when either the homeowner or the window installer purchased the windows from a Sears catalog and installed them the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The owners of the house say that no part of the house has been bought from Sears. They are, however, aware of the house\u2019s reputation that they\u2019ve hung signs saying that the windows are not upside down. The style is chosen because the top part of the windows opens to vent hot air from the interior. This, notes your provider of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prestigewindoor.com\/es\/residential-service\/window\/\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\">impact windows and doors<\/a>, may reduce damage due to improper ventilation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Proper Window Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Even with Snopes and the local signs stating the contrary, people tend to believe that the myth is somehow true.
