That's a good thought. The new windows could reduce drafts as well, but

he
made no mention of drafts.



I"m happy to say I'm not feeling any drafts. It's just colder than I
expected. I will track down some U and R values (what's the
difference?) and report back.

R- insulation value of the ONE item
U-Insulation value of more than one item, like a wall...the combination of R
values....IE: air space, drywall, insulation, outer wall insulation, wall
material like brick, or other, and outdoor air envelope.
