Secure the Side Edges of the Window Frame

What happens here

With the top edge secured, proceed to mask the vertical side edges of the window frame. Again, using the masking tool, align the tape along the side frame. The video indicates starting with the side where the wind is blowing from ('seal off this edge first'). Press the adhesive tape firmly against the frame, ensuring it adheres completely to create a crisp, clean line and a tight seal. As you move down, gently smooth the plastic sheeting to ensure it covers the window pane without excessive wrinkles or gaps. This step requires patience, especially when working against wind, to maintain a straight line and prevent the plastic from flapping.

Goal: Extend the masking by applying tape and plastic sheeting down the vertical side edges of the window, working from top to bottom.
