The last few weeks I've been shutting my bedroom door at night. It helps keep the moistened air from the humidifier in, which prevents me from waking up with a mouth that feels like the Sahara. On the downside, my room is effectively disconnected from the thermostat, so thanks to the double window my room tends to get a little chilly at night.
I bought some more of the plastic sheeting that I used back on Negley Street, which helped out quote a bit there. This place is different: There are no gaps in the walls leading directly to the outside world. Once I get the second window up I'll see if I notice any difference before I work on the living room with the balcony and the triple window next to my computer.
I don't feel any drafts coming in, just the slight convective flow of air that's being cooled by the glass. Not sure how that extra air-wall will help, but I guess it's worth a try.
Of course, by the time I get the rest of the plastic put up there's a good chance that winter will be over.
