    Massive gap under the front door? No worries mate chuck a door snake in front of it.

    Seriously I think you’re absolutely right it’s one of those things everyone is so used to we don’t even realise how bad it is compared to other places.

      Yea … and apart from obviously dilapidated or traditional housing … just about no one else is just powering through the cold like we do. Which is weird, because we love our homes and houses (apparently).

        Japanese houses are also mostly uninsulated and they just use space heaters. More modern homes are starting to use mini splits, which sometimes have heat, but that’s kind of just a better space heater.

      My back door has a weirdly elevated door frame so I can’t even chuck a door snake on it. It has to be a giant rolled up beach towel and still doesn’t work
