There is a wide array of images that come to mind when you think of the phrase "American Dream". For many, these images include the classic white picket fence, 2.2 kids and a golden retriever lounging in the front yard. In recent years, the American Dream has shifted, with a surprising increase in the number of people skipping suburbia and choosing a more urban setting. In fact, more than 30% of Americans<\/a> were renting their homes in 2016 and almost 50% of those renters<\/a> were living in a 5-unit or more building. Apartment living is on the rise as more and more people choose city living to the classic "American Dream." From newly independent renters to homeowners looking to downsize, the needs of apartment residents are varied. However, there are some needs that every apartment dweller finds themselves experiencing.<\/p>\n

From building an apartment hunt checklist to fixing simple maintenance issues, there are certain milestones that everyone is sure to experience. That's where we come in with some great apartment tips! This week's video features a DIY draft stopper for your door, which can be used to keep out chilly winter air and keep some money in your pocket.<\/p>\n

In today's episode, we're going to show you how you can make a Do-it-yourself door draft stopper with pool noodles, an old pillow case, and some safety pins. First, you'll want to place the noodle against the door so you can get the most accurate measurement. Grab a marker and draw out the line where you'll cut the noodle. Then, cut it along the line using scissors. Remember, the noodle for the outside part of the door needs to be a little longer to ensure a sealed close. Repeat those same steps for the inside door, but make the interior noodle segment a little shorter to make sure your door can still open and close without any issues. Next, stuff the noodles inside the pillow case, and roll one side nice and tight and secure with safety pins. After you have one side done, place the stopper underneath the door and roll the other side until you have a tight fit around the door. Pull out the stopper, and repeat with the safety pins to help secure it. Now you can keep the cold air out, and the warm air in!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
