Tuesday Tip: Cat Litter and a Tube Sock?

The weather is changing and the leaves are turning amber and red. Our first fall storm blew through, and with it the realization of a minor home repair I wasn’t aware I needed; window calking.

My son’s bedroom window has a small leak in the top of the frame that drips onto the windowsill. When it dries out, we can fix it. But until then, here’s a great tip: Fill a long tube sock with scoopable cat littler and place it on a plastic bag or tray on the window sill. The litter absorbs a LOT of water, the sock keeps it from being messy and the plastic protects the sill. And an added benefit: the soft surface absorbs the dripping noise!
