I have a real problem with my pet and the weather stripping, however my pet loves to go outside and unfortunately because of this he has for some reason gotten this idea into his head that if he calls at the weather stripping at the bottom of our door to the backyard that that will somehow let him outside when I don’t want to let him out.
Anyways, unfortunately he has destructive and he has destroyed the weather stripping twice now and because of this whether it’s letting all kinds of freezing air inside of our house.
If he keeps it up I am going to beginning keeping him in a separate room so he can not disfigurement the home anymore! He’s had free rein of the home for too long, and while I have tried to be nice to him all it’s doing is leading to him being more and more destructive. Now every time it’s freezing outside I can feel freezing air from the outside sleeping into the house. In fact I have noticed that I have had to turn my boiler on the thermostat up higher to compensate for the freezing air this weakness of the home because of the now open areas the freezing air can get in. I am going to for the fifth time repair the weather stripping, this way I don’t have to go and run my boiler extra anymore… Running my boiler more than I would like to is costing me money, and it’s costing me comfort because I can feel the freezing air in the draft it’s going to the house. So I am going to put a stop to it.
