Melisa Crosby 10/20/2017 2:18 PMMy husband and I dropped by the Community Energy Project in SE Portland today and picked up weatherizing kits for our older single pane windows. Nice thing about these kits: they are reusable, so we can take the film off in the spring, and reinstall next fall. Looking forward to a warmer house and a lower heating bill this winter! -
