More on windows.

Made some more interior storm windows the other night.

My materials list:

- 1x2's for the frame $0.25/LF
- Frost King 3/8"x3/16" foam weather stripping $0.20/LF
- Frost King window insulation kit (Outdoor Use) $9.50/pack

The panel shown measures 22.5"x81". I can make 4 panels from the window insulation kit. A rough cost per panel is:
- Plastic: $9.50 / 4 = $2.38
-1x2: [(81" x 2) + (19.5" x 3)]/12 x $0.25 = $4.60
- Weather Strip: [(81" x 2) + (22.5" x 2)]/12 x $0.20 = $3.45.

Total per panel = $10.43

All material purchased from Home Depot.

For detailed instructions on making these, please see the Historic HomeWorks site.
