["Kenneth J. Kovler" <kkovler@xxxxxxxx>]

You might want to try this technique out for finding drafts in the home.Go
a local plumbing/hardware store and got a "bottle of smoke" or
"powder-puffer".    It's a little bottle
that when squeezed squirts some sort of smoke like stuff.  You'll be able to
tell in an instant where the air leaks are around the doors and windows.  It
helps if you're using it on a windy day.   While you're at it, take the
smoke and squirt a little around the vent hoods on your hot water heater &
furnace.  If the vents are working properly, the smoke should be sucked up
and out.
