    Hi all,

    It's due to get pretty chilly here in the next couple of weeks! Unfortunately I'm burdened with the combination of a building that's a few hundred years old, wooden single-glazed sash windows, and electric heaters.

    If any of you can share some tips for keeping the cold air out and the warm air in it would be very helpful :)

    If I could give you a good solution, reply, rather than the obvious I'd be a multi millionaire !

    If you're cash-strapped, silicon beading or sugru for windows and old-fashioned rice/bead-filled draft excluders for doors to make a living room habitable. Be creative and duct-tape a couple of duvets to your curtain rails and door-frames to keep in the heat if that's where it's going. Put a draft-excluding panel either fabric or wooden over the fireplace if you're not using it for a bit (as long as there are no hot embers).
