Rattling Windows

By The Commoner

ON stormy or windy nights, such as we have frequently in cold, wintry weather, the rattling of a loose sash will occasion much loss of sleep, and in order to prevent the noise, it is only necessary to insert a bit of wood at the side of the sash. This wooden “stop” may be made slightly wedge-shaped, and lightly driven in the opening as far as required to keep the sash steady. The head of the wedge may be tied with a bit of twine and fastened to the side of the window, so it will always be in place. All loose boards, and shutters should be tightened up wherever located, as this will prevent one of the most troublesome annoyances of the stormy, winter night.—The Commoner.
