It has been doing wonders for us and I don't know why we never tried it sooner *grin*.<br /><br />Hi Annie :) Our basement is so cold to. It is entirely cement (walls,floor,ceiling) and half in the ground so it is damp and very very cold. Our main woodstove is down there so it heats the floors in the center rooms and then the heat rises through the stairs into the kitchen but it could use some serious insulating. Although in the summer months it is a godsend because we can blow the refrigerator like air upstairs and it's like having a built in air conditioner *grin*.<br /><br />Mama Llama :) <br />I fill my door snakes with my fabric scraps. I have tons of little bits of fabric strips that I cut off my bags when I sew the french seams and I bag them up for stuffing projects :) They compact together like cement when packed tightly and it makes on super HEAVY and dense snake. Old clothing would do the same trick to. If you have a rag bag or children's clothing that is to worn out for donating to charity you could use it to stuff with to :) Have fun making some for your mom!Rosina {Rosy ~ Posy}https://www.blogger.com/profile/00166454431527039022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053817550645181380.post-7625555374917808682010-11-05T18:30:11.710-07:002010-11-05T18:30:11.710-07:00I need to make my mom a couple of snakes.

If we can tackle that, then I think our house would be in good shape for the cold weather.Anniehttp://annie.paxye.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053817550645181380.post-27720708300471489342010-11-05T09:48:28.754-07:002010-11-05T09:48:28.754-07:00I've been considering that plastic for our win...I've been considering that plastic for our windows too. Our house 115 years old and while we had some ofo the windows replace in 2006, the floors are cold and the house is just plain draughty. Our curtains don't get opened as much in the winter and of course all the beds have heavy blankets on them now. I need to make me some of those door snakes. I bed they would be helpful. Thanks for some great ideas. They all beat turning up the furnace. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053817550645181380.post-45982159665332151642010-11-05T09:07:22.889-07:002010-11-05T09:07:22.889-07:00The nights are drawing in and it's getting col...The nights are drawing in and it's getting colder. Like you I have 'Sausages' or 'Snakes' for all of my doors. During the warmer months the internal doors remain open much of the time, but now we have started to close them to keep the heat in. The curtains get closed earlier in the evenings and opened later in the day. Extra blankets and quilts go onto the beds and heavier winter throws are put over the sofas to snuggle under. Oh yeah! I cook more food in the oven, lots of slow cooked casseroles and hot pots. :-)louleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814376067060612475noreply@blogger.com
