I have some friends in Australia (Tasmania) and their Christmas tradition is having a picnic at the beach.

Yes, it get's pretty hot in Western Australia round Christmas. Some people here miss a cold Christmas so much they have "Christmas in July"...just so they can enjoy all that winter/Christmas fare!
PS: back to the draft stopper, if you sew a ribbon loop on one end you can hang it on the doorknob when not in use, saves tripping over it. |
i've seen them stuffed with sand in a plastic bag and then covered with fabric. they had fabric loops for carrying them around or maybe just moving them.

:) I have a friend that makes the draft dodgers, and she uses sand to fill it. so that it stays in place. the insulation is more affective that way keeping more cool air out.

When we had that huge cold snap where it never got above the 20's for a week I just rolled up towels and put by the door.
Yes I am a tight wad, but its rare to have the temps below the upper 40's for this time of the year. Billy |
Draft Stoppers are also good for safely beating people over the head. Provided you don't stuff them with bricks.

Pat's aunt made a draft dodger. His name is Charles.

Yes please, I'll email you my address and I will take care of it ;-)

I made one for one of our doors, stuffed it with clean sawdust, that way it's heavy enough to stay put, and if not overfilled you can kind of manoevre it around a bit for the perfect fit.
