#28: Seal the Huge Holes Outside
Have you ever wondered why electricians and plumbers are so fond of drilling holes bigger than needed? It’s like they’re throwing a party, inviting all the uninvited guests – bugs, chilly breezes, you name it! But hey, plug up those party pooper holes and voila! Not only do your appliances get a second lease on life, but your energy bill takes a glorious nosedive, too.
Finally, our singular mission today is to pinch pennies at every opportunity. At times, the gaps in our defenses are so large, they might as well be mouse-sized welcome mats. You can imagine the chaos that ensues. To fortify our fortress, you can use anything at hand. We, however, champion the use of expanding foam, the unsung hero of budget-friendly home repairs.
