Dad and Mom used them every year, Bev. They used the cardboard strips as 
batts, either stapled or tacked over the edges of the plastic. There 
were lots of holes in our interior window trim. Dad wasn't very handy, 
nor concerned about decor.

I spent a couple hours winterizing our son's camp yesterday. I had 
ripped pine batts for this purpose several years ago that are screwed to 
the exterior trim. The plastic was all but disintegrated. When we lived 
in that camp I would have removed it in the spring. Scott, like my 
father, is not very handy.
