How To Install Weatherstripping on a Warped Door
According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a third of a home’s energy is lost through its windows and doors-and that’s when they are closed. Instead of replacing them, save money and energy by insulating with weather-stripping.
The easiest way to check for air leaks is using a piece of
paper. Open the front door, put the piece of paper in the doorjamb, and close the door. If you can pull the paper out easily, there’s an air leak. Try the same thing on the windows.

Penny Pinching Tips – Homeowner Expenses
DIY Plumbing Leaky Kitchen Faucet
Here are some tips I found in Family Circle Magazine on Penny Pinching Tips for homeowners:
Refinance your mortgage – For many Americans the biggest expense is paying off the mortgage, and that’s where you can save if you’re not planning to move any time soon. “Interest rates are still at historic lows, says Gary Schatsky, a Manhattan-based, fee-only financial planner and founder of ObjectiveAdvice.com, who notes that 30-year fixed mortgages are now hovering at around 5.13%, and 15-year loans at roughly 4.5% “If you can save 1% or more by refinancing, then it’s a slam dunk.” On a $200,000 mortgage, for instance, reducing your rate from 6.5% to 5 % would save you $250 every month. You’ll take a one-time hit on the closing costs, but the long-term savings will likely far outweigh, that.
