Time to plug the little holes
Posted on November 14th, 2009
With winter weather fast approaching, I am once again looking around my little home to see where I can make improvements to save a bit of money. A simple and relatively cheap project is installing outlet and switch sealers or gaskets. The first step is for me to count up all of the electric outlets and wall switches that are on exterior walls inside my home.
While I am making notes of the outlets, I am also counting how many outlets are without plugs. As part of this project, I also need to order those baby proofing plastic plugs to close off those openings.
Once I have my count, I place my order and wait for the box to arrive. I anticipate the hardest part of the whole project will be moving some furniture to get access to some outlets. But spending a bit of time now completing this project seems well worth the effort since once complete, it should not have to be redone in future seasons.
