I put the weather-proofing plastic wrap over our windows this year. I can't believe what a difference it made in heating this place. I have double-paned windows but somehow the wind still finds a way through and into our living area.
On a window that I would have sworn was airtight I would see the plastic puffing in and out showing otherwise. Also, when I would turn up the heat it would instantly start getting warm. I'll be putting the same thing on the windows next year for sure. In fact, I may take down what is there now so I can clean the windows before putting it on again and installing the air conditioners.
I've noticed a lot of robins in our yard lately and they same to be either eating worms of doing mating ritual type dances.
Fizban must have noticed this increased activity too. The plastic wrap is ripped and shredded on the window next to my desk. I guess getting four inches closer, before hitting the glass, mattered a lot to her when those birds started to dance.
