Covering Windows With Plastic to Reduce Heating Bills?I was wondering if anyone could tell me approximately how much money they've saved on heating bills by putting plastic in the windows to keep drafts out? I know this will depend on a lot of things, but I'm just trying to see if this is worth doing.
Making Logs out of Paper?I have been looking for a way to convert junk mail, paper, cardboard, etc. into fuel for my open fire.
