Ralph – Excellent point. I actually forgot that I hadn’t changed mine in a while and went out and got some new ones last evening!

Caveman – Good point on the cost of the trees.

Mark – Very interesting point. I have actually never heard of that idea. I will go home and try it. Thanks for adding me to your blogroll. I will do the same!

One thing about opening your windows that most people forget about is to lower the top half of the window more than the bottom half. (This used to be done way back in the old days).

Hot air rises so in order to have hot air escape, you want to allow hot air more room to leave at the top and little room on the bottom to allow cooler air to come in.

Great post. Added you to my Blogroll by the way.

Thanks for the commentary. I agree with the trees, but I didn’t consider it “free or cheap” since the tree I put in was about $150. Long-term it is very cheap, just not in the short-term.

Ralph,
Man, I can’t believe I forgot that one, too. That’s a very cheap thing that many people forget (or don’t eve know) to do.
