Save the heat in your house...
1. Clear-caulk (any hardware store - $10) along the trim of all windows and doors. There are, in some cases, some pretty good gaps from where the trim meets the wall, letting air in.
2. Cover all windows with plastic window wrap (any hardware store - $30). HUGE difference. In the spring, peel the plastic wrap carefully off the windows and fold it for re-use next year. Label which window it goes on; this saves plastic, saves time (re-measuring every year) and saves $$$.
BY FEMALES, FOR FEMALES, (and men with a sense of humour)
A lot of my female friends are pretty damn handy when it comes to fixing or making stuff. If you're a female (or a male using a female's name) who knows how to do Handy 'Manly' Stuff', then I'd love it if you'd post your Handy Tip here. For example? Car Maintenance: Things You Can and Should Do Yourself; How to Build a Shelf; How to Lay Flooring; Fixing a Leaky Faucet...that kinda stuff.
