WllB 90 DAYS SAME AS CASH WITH APPROVED CREDIT THE UNHANDWIAN'S GUIDE -- TO CAULKING AND WEATHERSTRIPPING. 1 : | ; - f One of the best ways to save money on energy costs is to make improvements tin your home that will help you use less energy. One of the easiest and most worthwhile things you can do is minimize your heating and cooling loss by caulking and weatherstripping. If you live in a typical home and install caulking and weatherstripping. you can trtm your energy cost for heating by up to $40 per year. You'll recover your investment in two years or less, and after that it's money in the bank. 5 Caulking and weatherstripping your house requires a minimum of tools, time and know-how. Kven not-so-haniy homeowners can easily handle this job. You use caulk to plug air leaks outside and weatherstripping inside to seal the openings ifound doorways and windows. WEATHERSTRIPPING-- V * 2h "LET S TALK CAULKING" First. survey your « house from the outside. Look for gaps in the exterior walls where you need caulk. Note any missing or sun dried caulk especially on the south side of your house. Here's where to look: • Around all window and door frames • Around exhaust fan outlets (bath, kitchen or laundry) • Around window air conditioners • Around holes cut"for hose faucet, wires and pipes • Around the chimney • Around lighting fixtures • Where masonry and siding meet. Caulk is a flexible sealant designed to fill cracks and gaps in fixed joints of a house. One tube will fill about 25 feet of a narrow 'A " crack or two small windows. In home centers and hardware stores you'll find a variety of caulks to choose from, hut don't let that scare you. Ordinary- latex caulk is easy to use and cleanup, and a good bet for the first time user. Silconized caulk is more expensive, but it lasts considerably longer. If you can afford to use a better grade of caulking you won't have to re-do the job every few years. Check the label to see if the caulk can he painted, how long it takes to dry. the type thinner recommended for cleanup and what the temperature requirements are. Don't forget to purchase a caulk gun. unless you purchase caulk Push the tube away from you. that comes in pressurized cans. Caulk guns usually cost only a few dollars. B| Clean out the joint thoroughly and let dry. 0 Cut the tube tip off at a 45 degree angle making a "i opening. H With the tube in the gun. break the seal with a nail. H Place the nozzle in the crack and squeeze the trigger while pushing the tube away from you to fill the gap. • Fill deep cracks with several beads of caulk. H Clean |up immediately and put a nail in the tube nozzle to save for re-use. THE INDOOR SOLUTION Weatherstripping is the best way to stop air leaks.
