Pick up a couple of cheap cigars or incense sticks....If your windows
and doors are more than 20 years old they should probably be replaced
anyway..

Our Windows are 150 years old... so definitely not something I plan on
replacing -- they don't make windows or wood like they used to.
The storms on the other hand are another story and need replacing when
we have the cash for that. And the windows themselves could use some
work on them to tune them up -- though more expensive probably than
replacing them...


You're right they don't make windows like they use to...Kinda glad
really...I like the insulation they now use in homes as well...If you like
old drafty houses and can afford to heat it , more power to you...Well
untill Obama and the libs mandate otherwise....LOL....

They are the biggest offenders and quickest payback...Then you
can nit pick other stuff...You don't need to give somebody 500 bucks
to do an audit...It's just a scam...Most stuff is common sense like
adding attic insulation , caulking and spray foaming cracks ,
ect....Besides we are here to help...LOL...Good luck...
