I AM A SHAMELESS CAULKHOUND

[rmd]

so, some of my windows are drafty. now that it's finally getting really cold, i finally got pissed off about it enough to dig out a tube of caulk and go to town on the inside of the window frames. standing near the window, i can feel that it's made a noticable difference already -- noticably less breeze with the gaps better-sealed. i also noticed that some of the preexisting caulk on frame pieces of the windows was chipped and gapped in a few places, so i took some silicone goop and smeared them airtight again.

since i can't seem to find the big sheet of shrinkwrap plastic i have kicking around from previous bouts of window-shrinkwrapping, i figure i'll go to tags tomorrow and buy more. it's not like i won't want more next winter anyways. and then tomorrow (once the caulk has had a chance to set up) i'll shrinkwrap the newly caulked window gaps and it should be even better.

You can never have enough caulk. In fact some projects may require two types, in which case you get two different caulks at the same time. But always wear shoes when caulking -- if there's one thing I can't stand, it's those goddamned sock-caulkers.
