Learn to weatherize with free workshop

BRATTLEBORO — Are you ready for winter? Efficiency Vermont, in partnership with the Windham & Windsor Housing Trust (WWHT, homemattershere.org), will present a pair of free do-it-yourself weatherization workshops.

They will be offered in Brattleboro on Thursday, Nov. 29, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., in the WWHT community room, 68 Birge St., and Dec. 6 in Newfane at Moore Free Library, 23 West St., from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

These informal workshops will offer “some practical, hands-on guidance on how you can reduce heating and cooling costs in your home through do-it-yourself measures, including weather stripping your doors and windows, sealing the air leaks in your basement and attic, and installing interior storm windows,” organizers write.

Free weather stripping will be provided to all participants.

The workshops will be led by Jeff Manney, an energy consultant for Efficiency Vermont.
