Your windows are leaking air — here's the fix

This past winter, I'd feel that faint draft near the windows and assume it was just the house settling. My ranch was built in 2022—nothing about it should be leaking air. But when I started getting more deliberate about home maintenance tasks I'd been ignoring and actually looked at the caulk lines around my windows — inside and out — the problems were obvious. Cracked beads, gaps, sections gone entirely. New construction isn't immune to this. Two tubes of silicone caulk and a Saturday afternoon fixed it, for under $40. The details are what make it stick, so here's what actually worked.
