drafty windows?

If you have an old house like I do chances are you don't have new windows or storm windows on all your windows. In cold weather it can be miserable to have drafty windows. There are two quick fix things to do that cost very little to do. My favorite method is the cord weather stripping. It is a clay like substance that comes off easily and it easy to apply. It also stops the window rattling. The other is the plastic window sheet that is taped and blowdried to finish. This method is less easy to take out and often the tape will take off the paint.
