stupid cold wintery places

[juldea]

I just learned about storm windows.

I've lived in Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Hawaii in my life! None of those places (or at least where I lived in them) had the need for a strange mixture of two windows.

Maybe now our heating bill will go down...

Also advisable, if you don't already have good weather seals on your window, is taking plastic wrap and shrinking it over the windows with a hairdryer. Keeps the drafts out, kind of like sleeping with a plastic bag over your head.

Interesting idea...

Heat-shrink wrap window kits slashed our heating use in base housing, but we had to replace half of it when the contractors replacing the doors in the older housing tore it out.

We use interior storm windows with a magnetic frame here; they're more permanent and nicer-looking.
