3M Indoor Window Insulator Kit


We are entering our first cold season in a brownstone (after living in overheated apts for the past 20 yrs) and in addition to flannel sheets and fuzzy slippers, are considering winterizing our drafty, 20-yr old windows. Came across this product–3M 2141W Indoor 5-Window Insulator Kit–online and was wondering if anyone has tried it on windows with original wood frames that are stained and varnished. Our concern is that the double-sided tape will damage the wood finish. Thanks for sharing any experiences with the product or any other handy insulating drafty window tips.

Chicago Spring Closer


This may be a long shot, but I am looking for one or two of these vintage spring closers, which were used on doors/screen doors.
10″ or bigger. Any condition.
Any leads are appreciated. Thanks.
