Now that I'm home during the day I've notice there are some drafty spots. We worked hard this fall to update our wooden storm windows and I do feel a difference now that they are on and have been re-glazed. I probable wouldn't put the plastic on my windows either because I have no curtains either and again I'm home and like to look out the windows. BTW that is another great way to keep your house warm, invest in some thick curtains and close them at night...hm maybe I should take some of my own advice.

And yes my old thermostat was also on the same wall as my stove so if the stove was on you would freeze!!lianna26https://www.blogger.com/profile/07866907634557754553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-69877452765543412002008-11-12T13:46:00.000-05:002008-11-12T13:46:00.000-05:00I would consider it if I actually used curtains-my...I would consider it if I actually used curtains-my downstairs is just valances. You know though, perhaps I will do them in the bedrooms. Because the thermostat is in the kitchen (don't know what GENIUS came up with that plan) the bedrooms are quite cold if one is cooking (or has cooked within the last few hours.)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725324685109415066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-57159644832131028572008-11-12T13:40:00.000-05:002008-11-12T13:40:00.000-05:00Well doen my friend!

My family and I have been using plastic on our windows for YEARS- especially on big picture windows. No one can really tell once you use the hairdryer and if it saves you $$$ and keeps y our house form being drafty - the who cares ? :)lianna26https://www.blogger.com/profile/07866907634557754553noreply@blogger.com
