Who can add to this list?

My favorite is replacement windows. A home with decent storms before new
windows would have about a 50 year payback on new windows. If that same
homeowner bought some caulk and used it, the payback should be about 5 days.

I know, many will disagree, particulary those who just spent $10k on new
windows


Ummm.... apparently your knowledge about R-values and thermal
effects are just as extensive as your knowledge of home insurance...
