The rains are finally here

After almost no rain for 6 months, the rains are finally here. It's time to find out where the leaks are in doors and windows, and to start weatherproofing to keep the heat and dry inside and the cold and wet outside.

Windows are one of the most likely suspects for energy inefficiency, which means that it's important to replace old, leaky windows with new, high-performance windows.

Make sure that whoever installs the new windows uses proper flashing materials and installation methods. Improper installation can cause moldy nightmares later down the road.
