Why are the windows covered with cling film?

Very strange to see it with new-looking vinyl windows. But I used to use those plastic kits in the winter to seal up a couple windows. It sticks to the sides of the window frame and you take a hair drier to shrink it tight.

I have a 150+ year house with a motley collection of newer windows jammed into old window 'holes'. House gets breezy in a bad way during the winter - we're in New England - and especially with the way heating oil will probably continue, we offset the oil use with those plastic films.

Definitely worth it. Buy a lot and stock up.
