Field guide to weatherstripping

Not long ago I could not have identified more than two types of weatherstripping if you placed me on aisle 16 of Home Depot and gave me an hour to study.

Fortunately, before my trip today, I was able to brush up with the DOE’s helpful guide to weatherstripping. This afternoon I replaced my door sweeps, installed some tubular rubber door stripping, and inspected the silicone around my windows. Even without an infra-red visualizer I’ve noticed a difference.

I also bought two programmable thermostats for installation next weekend. More tales from the home improvement world to come.
