Temporarily Fixing A Broken Window

We don't enjoy it when it happens, but it does happen from time to time - broken windows. Whether a game of catch ended badly or a storm surge sweeps debris and hail through your panes, dealing with broken glass can be a real nuisance. Trying to fix it yourself is not only time consuming, but can be dangerous, but you still want to do something about the window until the glass repairman arrives. In order to keep your family safe and your home more insulated, there are a few tasks you can do with materials you may already have in your home for a temporary fix until a more appropriate professional replacement can be attained.
