So my crib has fairly old windows, during the winter it gets pretty chilly. One idea my paps gave me was to put this plastic wrap around the outside of my windows. He said its made by 3M, you lay the shit over your windows and shoot it with a hair drier and I guess it seals all the leaks in your windows? Anyone heard of this...discuss.

Get a fat girlfriend, dawg!

I've done it and it works well. It’s cheap and you can fit the stuff to any sized windows. The process isn’t difficult, probably a 2 person job.

[Shadrach]

It goes on the inside...

It works for a while.

yeah...it's ok stuff...your best bet is to just start replacing windows though. and it's not that expensive...example = pella therma star replacement window at lowes size 3x5 = 100 bucks.....start with your most lived in rooms and replace a few every months

Good idear...we spend most of our time in the den. One window is brand new, the other is the oldest in the house.

I've used that plastic stuff before. I agree that it's an easy/affordable short-term solution, but its not something you'd want on all of your windows every winter. I agree with Bill's idea of starting to replace the windows, just a couple at a time.

don't put that shit on the outside, tim. it goes on the inside, like shad man said.

[Anhil8tor]

have you tried re-caulking some of the problem areas too?

Maybe let Clay "cock" some of your problem areas, Duane?
