Thanks. I was planning on going to Loew's to get a kit but I'll take your advice and just go to Walmart. Loew's is kinda expensive anyway.

[CaptainBerz]

@daren313 I think the duck brand is much better than the frost king. Thanks for watching. I am going to do a HD video on how to do this soon.

[350oldschool]

show how to do it -some people ,don't know,or don't read the instructions.Be informative.

[CaptainBerz]

@350oldschool I will take that, you are right I could have been much better. This is one of my first videos I ever made. Thanks.

[350oldschool]

@CaptainBerz Every thing takes time to learn--Good luck to you.

O.k notice how this fellow put the plastic over his blinds,DONT DO IT, I did it that way last winter and it warped my blinds!!!!!!

[CaptainBerz]

@ThePure115 I have never warped my blinds. But, thanks for the tip.

I started doing this last year too - I had a question though: what does buffing out the creases in the middle do? I can see how doing so along the edge would close the gaps - I'm just interested in your hair-drying method and what it does :D Thanks Berz!

[CaptainBerz]

@jhouxkpdx I just hair dry it till it is like a crystal!...lol...I have always done it till its tight all around..

[jhouxkpdx]

@CaptainBerz lol nice. We just bought a house with a heat pump but I still gotta do all I can to save costs/energy - thanks for the tip!

[GridJumping]

I've done this a lot on my house in the north part of Indiana that was built about 1890. It makes a huge difference.

[CaptainBerz]

@GridJumping I agree, the drafts are cut down to pretty much nothing..

[HighDefDownLow]

no offense , but this video didn't tell me shit. how about a video that shows what brand your using, how to seal the plastic to window, and any tips that you can share , IE knowledge gained over years of doing this. On a positive: the logo page w/ 'Beerz' is badass...

[CaptainBerz]

@HighDefDownLow I said what brand...lol

[infringinator]

Are you supposed to put it over blinds? Ive seen them all do it over glass lol

[CaptainBerz]

@infringinator However keep the air out. The blinds are in the window cavity, so as long as it does not touch the plastic it is fine..

[infringinator]

@CaptainBerz I'm not sure if I can install any...I have drywall surrounding the window frame area...only place I could attach the plastic would be on the drywall which the directions say not to do...and I have blinds in the way so I'm screwed!

[BTeamHooligan]

Gonna have to try it, thanks for the vid.

[CaptainBerz]

@BTeamHooligan Anytime, You will be surprised how much air it keeps out if your windows leak any air...

[BTeamHooligan]

@CaptainBerz Yeah we've got the original storm windows from '35, leak like a sieve. Want to change out when we get the coin.

[chuck200453]

Thanks!

[CaptainBerz]

@chuck200453 Anytime...

[PavlovSandor]

i remember doing that in south dakota. now i live in sunny arizona. saran wrap for the windows. thats how i think of it. also if youre installing them when its cold you can highjack the ole hairdrier for some quick heat.

[CaptainBerz]

@PavlovSandor HAHA, yea hair dryer heat, yum!

[robbie574]

My landlord put in double pain windows in all but the front window, which is 5'x6'. Wonder if I could d that one?

[CaptainBerz]

@robbie574 Very easy, double sided tape around the outside, plastic the window then blow dry it....

[robbie574]

@CaptainBerz I'll try it, thanks! :)

[sailingmanuel]

Thats cool

[CaptainBerz]

@sailingmanuel Yea, helps cut the edge off the cold. Cause I do not rock the heat much. LOL!

[DemonHide]

Wish I could... This place kinda sucks. Can't do nothin' without permission and is full of so many holes, what's the point? Hell, a mole just chewed through my floor last week LOL

[CaptainBerz]

@DemonHide oh snap, that sucks... Rental's are kinda sucky. Just do whatever and fix it before you leave. LOL!

[BlueCollarSurvival]

do you have double pane?



[CaptainBerz]

@BlueCollarSurvival Yea..

[BlueCollarSurvival]

@CaptainBerz do they make triple pane windows? I'd just get inch thick plexi glass if I could LOL

[theeastwatch]

I never liked doing that, I like to get fresh air in my place even when its super cold out.

Good to have for the next small pox attack though.

-TEW

[CaptainBerz]

@theeastwatch Yea, the cool thing is I do not do it to all my windows, but your points make a lot of sense. LOL! Never thought of it that way...
