Cracks...(and not the plumbers...)

After losing power due to the snow, I was surprised at how fast the temperature dropped inside and how frigidly cold the house became. So, I decided to talk about it.
Did you know that a 1/8 opening around a exterior/interior door is equivalent to a 2 inch by 2 inch whole in an exterior wall of your house? I like that it is an easy fix and one that saves money! Just go to your local hardware store and purchase weather striping, peal off the self adhesive strip and apply it to the inside jam of the door and start saving some cash! Here is the link that gives the step by step instructions. Anyone can do this !

After you do this little project, start focusing on sealing all the cracks around your home because all those cracks total one open window all year round, and I don't know about you, but that is too much to throw "out the window"!
