Winterizing the windows

I have glaze like this all around my house. Makes me wonder what the contractor did before he put on the storm windows. If you want something done right you got to do it yourself! Credit: Jacob Harding

Having a good outside seal around the windows is crucial to energy efficiency. Getting this done before it gets too cold.
Caulk all the corners and gaps. The off colored part is some filler used to fill a hole.
Always look for panes of glass that need to be replaced.
Using a hair dryer to heat and loosen the glaze. I found that an actual heat gun works much better.
Some holes that need to filled with a good wood filler.
Be careful scraping away the glaze next to the glass. It is very easy to overdue it and crack the glass.
Scraping away all the loose paint and caulk.
Unscrewing the screws that hold the storm window. Don&amp;amp;amp;#039;t drop the screws...or the window.
