Drafts can sneak in all over your house, but one of the most common places is around the doors. You can improve your heating and cooling costs by simply adding door sweeps!
1. Pick up a door sweep at your local hardware store.
2. Measure the door, then cut the sweep down to size with some tin snips if necessary.
3. Hold the sweep against the door and test it's position. A good sweep should cover any gap but not scrape the floor. An easy way to test this is to attach the sweep to the door with some fun tack.
4. Once you have the sweep in position use a sharp pencil to mark the holes where the screws will go.
5. Remove the sweep pre-drill the holes for the screws, use the brush attachment on your vacuum to clear away any dust and dirt.
6. Put the sweep back into position and put the screws into place.
