Did I just dodge an expensive bullet?

13. Thank YOU. Something else I just discovered:

Magna seal soundproofing windows. They clip on to your regular window, inside of course. win.alturl.com Don't yet know how much they cost, but it looks like something I could do myself and certainly buy a few at a time. Soundproofing would also mean energy conservation, though both would be appreciated. This is basically a very quiet neighborhood with a lot of old houses and trees, but every little bit helps.

A neighbor sold to move to FL so of course she had a big yard sale, with a ton of magazines in the free box. Something like that I don't even look through at the moment; just scoop it up and carry it home for later examination. If I don't want all of it, I'll know someone who does. This time it turned out to be about 30 DIY publications, with valuable resource listings in the back. That's where I found the soundproof window ad.
