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.

I'm actually interested in renting a 2-bedroom apartment, preferably in Park Slope or Windsor Terrace, beginning either 1/1/10 or 2/1/10. Ground floor preferable but not necessary. Any landlords out there, if you have anything please contact me at presto1972@live.com.

I would advertise no fee by owner of course but also give it to a few brokers and use the security deposit to pay the fee for a lease starting 12/15-1/1. RENT it in december; do not, under any circumstances, let it go unrented into January because Jan is the start of "nothing doing" season and that sticks around until April.
