Broomstick said:Have a search for under-door draft excluders which are two smaller tubes attached by a strip of fabric (or tape) under the door. I made a couple out of pipe insulation and duct tape which have stood the test of time and have worked beautifully indoors but I suspect they would have worked on external doors just as well. The design would probably work with duct tape and rolled newspaper too. When I have a moment I'm going to experiment with making more in scrap fabric for internal doors. Since the tubes are narrower and are anchored under the door, I wonder if your dog would find it less attractive.Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.1

I've put the draught excluder strip at the bottom of the door, the tape type excluder round the edges and throw an old sofa arm cushion on the floor. I've hung a lined curtain and created an inner porch.
All of it was done to stop the herb smell from my neighbour, but it's stopped the cold air getting through too.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.3
