I AM A SHAMELESS CAULKHOUND
Jan. 20th, 2007 05:31 pmso, 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.
