BASEMENT WEATHERIZATION - The rim joist can be a significant source of drafts, expecially in older homes with stone and masonry foundations. Drafts are then pulled through the house into walls amd holes created by plumbing pipes and electrical conduit.The rim joist can be a significant source of drafts, expecially in older homes with stone and masonry foundations.

DOORS AND ENTRYWAYS - The sealing of doors that act as entryways to the home, the basement or the unfinished attic are simply areas of energy containment, and yet often overlooked in the weatherization process. Through the use of effective weather seals, and quality sweep seals the managment of energy in the home can be greatly enhanced.
WINDOW RESTORATION AND WEATHERIZATION - “No feature in domestic architecture requires more consideration than the window. To give the requisite amount of light without unduly cutting up the wall; to admit air when you want it, without admitting wind and wet, which you do not want; to have free scope for viewing external objects, without needlessly exposing your rooms from the exterior; and to do all this in such a way as will add beauty and character to your building, both within and without, are important objects to be aimed at in any style.” Sir George Gilbert Scott , 1851
