so tomorrow i'm off and i'm going to tackle a drafty kitchen window. the window always seems to be drafty from the bottom edge.
i pulled off the saggy siding to find this. i'm not sure what the paper is, but it its falling apart.
now to fix this would you try and run a bead of caulk? or would you try to use some kind of tape along the entire edge?

pulled the itnerior trim and found the problem.

now. would you go ahead and pull the interior trim around the entire window? or would you just seal the lower portion. thats where i primarily felt the draft.

Do the whole thing.

Yup, do the whole thing, I think I would try low expansion foam outside and some good silicone caulk inside.
