((new))s Around Windows — Sealing Crack

Cut the nozzle tip at a 45-degree angle to match the size of your gap (start small—you can always cut more). Load the caulk gun and squeeze a steady bead ahead of the tip, pushing it into the joint. Don't overdo it—a ¼-inch bead is plenty for most cracks.

But here’s the good news: sealing those cracks is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most satisfying DIY projects you can tackle. No power tools required. No engineering degree needed. Just a Saturday morning, a few basic supplies, and the knowledge of where and how to look. Before you grab a caulk gun, you need to understand the battlefield.

Cost: ~$15 per window. Time: ~20 minutes per window. ROI: Lower energy bills, higher comfort, and a quieter home. Cut the nozzle tip at a 45-degree angle
