next up, figuring out what to do with the sliding glass doors. They're huge, but don't have a frame like the windows for putting up the plastic (and this is some funky use the hair dryer plastic that shrinks with heat...which the hair dryer will never reach)
Ta-da.
If it doesn't have the press-in type of weatherstripping like that, I'd look into getting a strip of that fuzzy style weatherstripping to put on the edge of the door, that way there's some sort of material styled seal on the edge when the door closes, making sure less air escapes through.
And I have this crazy tall wall with these totally unreachable windows. I have no clue what to do with them, but I can only imagine how much money is wasted with the heat that gets out from them.
Extra tall ladder, caulking gun and some interior/exterior caulking.
Plus the thermocouple is busted on the gas fireplace.
Thermocoupler's are cheap. I've never had to replace one, but it seems easy enough.
Keep in mind, I do work at a home improvement warehouse store, man. I don't just stock shelves, I have to know this shit. And if I don't know, I find out. In fact, I had a customer complaint filed against me recently because I didn't know the answer to somebody's question and wasn't quickly able to find help for them.

I could see being called patient, but more creative than you? I'm just following instructions I find online, you're a freakin' artist.
I want to make a smaller chain (20 gauge 3/16th rings) like that for my brother for his birthday, all bright silver with red captives and a matching iron cross pendant. He's big into iron crosses and the like, so that ought to give him a joygasm.
