drafts

[taksim]

I live in a 3 year old home and there is one spot in the kitchen that is subject to cold air..how do I track down the source and fix it..My windows are tight and curtained and the outside door is tight..where does the cold air come from??

Get a smoke match or pellet, and light it inside a tin with a small hole in it for the smoke to come out then find out which direction the draught originates, It may be a ventilator which you need to have. Secondly, stop thinking of it as a draught and think of it as distributed ventilation. Lack of ventilation will give you more problems than you need.

A stick of incense will often drift the way the draught is going.

You can even walk around with it holding it next to outside doors etc.

It helps if you chant while you're doing it!

I usually get my 'bell' out. I'm a swinger at heart.

You can also use this technique to locate faulty flow switches and illegal immigrants!

Yet another pointless post from Softus.

Sorry joe - I just read your post and mistakenly thought that pointless was the theme of this topic.
