Do-it-yourselfer Q&A

Q. Our house is about 60 years old and has the original wood, double-hung windows. Several of the windows are drafty and loose, and rattle when the wind blows. A couple of these won't stay open unless I prop them with a stick. I can't afford new windows now and wonder if there is a less expensive way to fix them. Can you help? -J. Huber

Home improvement Q&A: Tankless water heaters

Q: I'm hoping you can give a brief explanation of the tankless water heater. I can't seem to make my husband understand. Our water heater is on the opposite side of our house from the bathrooms and laundry room. Consequently, it takes running the water a long time before we get any warm/hot water. Isn't the tankless heater something that allows you to tap into hot water on demand?
