The Tool Barn


Inspect the Woodwork

Just as important as in the spring, you need to ensure that your exterior woodwork is in good repair.  The cold temperatures and precipitation will take their toll on your woodwork.  As part of this inspection you should inspect the weather stripping on your doors and windows.  If the weather stripping or glazing is in bad shape it can allow cold air to seep into your house.  Inspect the windows and re-glaze/repaint/repair where necessary.   If you have double-pane windows or better, this is a bit more complicated as there is usually some sort of rubber gasket.  Single pane windows are very easy to re-glaze
