One particularly chilly morning, you walk by a window in your living room and realize you can feel the cold outside air inside.

The professional caulker shows up and quotes you a hefty sum, but you want this problem fixed before the weather gets any colder — so you resign yourself to a dip into the emergency fund. Five minutes and $1 worth of caulk later… you’re out a cool hundred bucks. Ouch. But now you’re thinking, “Wait, that didn’t look too hard — could I have just DIYed that and saved some money?” Probably.
