Stopping the drafts
Having discovered on my last trip that there are one or two drafts coming from the doors, I starting planning on how to block them. The problem is some of the gaps are surprisingly large, and non of the draft excluder products available from DIY places would do the job. So I needed to find something to fit the bill. Those who have been following this blog will know I've got lots of industrial rubber backed water proof carpet for doing the floor, and after doing the floor there was quite a lot left over, so i decided to use this to act as a daft excluder. The back door was the biggest problem, where the two doors meet (or rather don't exactly) and a the bottom. Firstly I could one long and wide strip of carpet and attached that to one the the back doors where the two doors meet. Now when both doors are closed the carpet sits over the gap between the two doors and stops and drafts. At the bottom again I cut a long strip and attached that rubber side up to the floor, so when the doors close this carpet blocks the drafts at the bottom.
