INSULATING WINDOWS QUESTION: I have been in my house for 42 years and it is about time I did something about my windows. They are single-glazed and aluminum-framed. How can I insulate them without spending big bucks? ANSWER: Those windows are not doing you much good, and they cannot be insulated. Instead of replacing them, consider buying storm windows, which you can put on the outside frames. These are not inexpensive, but cost slightly less than replacement windows. Or, for a lot less cash—only a few dollars per window—you can buy a kit that provides special strips for the inside frames of each window. These strips hold a piece of plastic or polyethylene. It is an instant storm window. Another option is to buy 4-mil polyethylene plastic sheets that come in a roll, cut them to fit the inside frames of each window, and secure the plastic with duct tape. They will not be beautiful but, they will do wonders in saving fuel and air-conditioning costs. If
