Weather Stripping Wears Out

Note to self: Weather stripping does not last forever.

Early this morning I walked past my front door and had a shock.

I could see daylight coming through the gap between the front door and the doorjamb. Funny, I didn’t remember the gap there being so huge. I looked closer to find worn out weather-stripping.

I tried to post some pics here of my weather stipping but I’m having technical issues. I’ll try posting them later.

So in the interest of energy conservation—not to mention my electric bill (!)—this little job must be taken care of promptly!

I foresee handy-husband and I enjoying a date-night at our local Home Depot store.

So take note, and check out your weather-stripping. You just might reduce your electric bill.
