Trousers become cat draught excluder

I have turned a pair of brown cord trousers with a dodgy zip and wearing thin at the crotch into a cat draught excluder for the bottom of a door.


The photograph is taken at my front door (I have a floor length curtain with a thermal curtain lining).

This will be a birthday present for my elderly next door neighbour. I don't want to get her more clutter. I used to get her gardening stuff but this past year she hasn't been in the garden.

There is a big gap under her front door and her draught excluder is made from carrier bags stuffed hard with other carrier bags so doesn't do much for keeping our the draughts as far as I can see.

I hope she likes it!

Grocer's fruit box transformed into bathroom storage

I rescued a fruit box thrown out by a local grocer. Screwed two offcuts of wood underneath it, and then screwed four casters on to the offcuts. I now have storage for loo cleaner, bath cleaner, toilet rolls, etc.


The main advantage will be that when I clear the bathroom to clean the floor I just have the box to pick up not lots of little bits.
