The Greenfield Recorder included on Saturday 8/12 an AP article by Morris & 
James Carey headed 'Double your pleasure with 'double-hungs'. The column is 
primarily a detailed instruction on how to repair weights, but the next to 
last paragraph says:
"The one big problem with old-style wood-double-hungs is that they are about 
the least energy efficient of all windows known to mankind. Repair them for 
as long as practical, but if you really want long term comfort replace them 
as soon as you can. And that's all there is to it."  .. and for more tips 
visit www.onthehouse.com  or call our listener hot line at 1-800-737-2474.

Is this making the rounds?
