Aaaarrrggghh!!!

So it's getting chilly around here. And to cut down on drafts and keep the heat from my fireplace and wood stove inside, I sealed up a few leaky windows with that shrink-plastic sheeting from the home-improvement store. The biggest one that I had to seal was the big picture window in my office--the one that I watch the deer through. I got a large sheet of the plastic and cut it to size, then I cleaned the frame and applied the two-sided tape, after which I carefully attached the plastic, doing it so well that it was smooth and tight and perfectly straight--and owing to the size of the window, this took some doing.

Then I heated the plastic with a hair dryer and it shrunk and every last wrinkle disappeared. A PERFECT job that took me a little over half an hour to do. It looked really good...almost professional.

I was still admiring it when Lagniappe ran in to bark at a cat in the yard on the other side of the window and busted right through it.
