Brrrrr

It is so cold! We're living in an old house and once we got our lastest power bill realized the window unit and space heaters are not gonna cut it...warmth or expense wise. Matt checked into propane, but after much debate, we headed to Lowe's Hardware last night. We bought an oil filled heater, more efficient than the window unit, and also bought these clear plastic sheets to put over the windows...the Lowe's man told us he'd used these when he rented and didn't have double pane windows... So we got home, opened up the kits and started double sided taping, pressing the plasticy paper (think saran wrap) to the window, and then I hair dried the edges. That's in the directions, seal with the hair dryer! It doesn't look as ghetto as it sounds...promise! Our evening was pretty full of handy-man/woman adventures. The result? A bit warmer today - I warm myself over the oil heater like it's a campfire...and hopefully a happier power bill at the end of the month!
