   Good tip to keep extremely taut while stapling.  Will keep that in   
   mind to try as I got a tiny bit too much slack in places which got   
   worse after condensation when the icing up happened and put weight on   
   the plastic.  It held every year, but it's alarming to see a pouch of   
   ice nearly one foot into your living room buldging from the window!
