I have the same question. From the picture it looks like it might be to help add a layer of insulation during the winter, but I'm not sure.

The window kit can be used for the replacement of glass almost anywhere. It can also be used to build things like a small greenhouse. Can be used to seal off a room. Installed right it is transparent as glass so you can still see through it.

It can also be used to replace the glass in a car but would need some bracing and edge reinforcement to be used as a windshield.

Plus, should the need arise,, It will work real good for sealing off a sucking chest wound....

Today's little things. We have said it before. You can't have enough twine, rope or wire. 900' of twine was $3. Rope I buy whatever is on sale. $2-$10. Nice to have different sizes on hand.

Also in addition to the rope a few pulleys on hand are cheap. 2" singles are on sale for $3 a set of two. Coupled with a double for $4 and it makes for a simple block and tackle set up.

Wire can be a $6 spool of bailing wire or whatever ya need. I keep a couple of rolls of wire along with a spool of stainless safety wire in .035. If push comes to shove I always have the extra wire from the mig welder.

And the last one for today. Related to the rope above.... A clothesline and clothes pins. Colorado lends itself to drying by air. This can be used indoors or out. once again these are dollar store items. I think the line and pins were $3 total. The dedicated clothesline is handy because it has a built in adjusters on the hook.

That's it for today's budget tips.
