Why not get shrink wrap plastic and do it from the inside. RJ ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Baldwin To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 12:20 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] winterizing
Well, I am expecting a pretty good snow storm in the next 24-48 hours, how nice, but oh well. Now, I normally put plastic over the outside of my windows in the winter to help with air leaks and stuff, yes, my windows are...crap... Okay, my siding was replaced this past summer with vinyl, had steel before. What I would like to do, and need suggestions on, is somehow get the plastic around the J channel, then have it pull tight in the J channel. This way I am not trying to use tape or staples to hold the plastic on. 50 MPH winds are not uncommon for our winters. I have seen those kits that you can use on the inside of the house, and use a hair drier to shrink the plastic around the trim, but my windows have no inside trim, the plaster wraps around to the window. Think this would hold up on the outside? Any other thoughts? My requirements are, it looks half way good, and does not leave permanent marks on the new siding. Thanks, Michael [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
