Temporary weather proofing of rented home

[Corvis Canis Latrans]

Looking for suggestions.

I can put nail holes in the walls themselves, but preferably not too many (according to my lease). That's the closest thing to a structural alteration that's allowed.

Thus far:

-I've replaced window blinds with thick curtains and tacked down all the edges except those I know the cat would tear open as a peephole.

-Put a fleece blanket over the most problematic window.

-Bought cheap precut styrofoam insulation sheets and put them around the base of the walls (where there seems to be zero insulation actually in the walls, as they are extremely cold to the touch.

-used duct tape and tacks to put a sheet over the hinged edge of the back door, affixed in such a way as to allow the door to continue to open and close.

-Rearranged my taller bookshelves so that most of them are against outside walls, thus my library can double as insulation. :p

I am considering:
-looking for cheap blankets to actually hang from the walls to hold more of the cold out.

-buying more of the styrofoam (it's cheaper by far than any blankets I know about).

Other suggestions are welcome.

Duct tape thick clear plastic over the windows.

Hanging blankets can help a bunch, dont forget to tumb-tack blankets to the celing.

If there are rooms you dont really use much, hang heavy blankets over their entryways to keep heat in the most used parts of the house.

Put rugs on tiled flooring.

sounds like you have done some good ideas already
my suggestion would be clear plastic sealed over the windows you can buy it with adhesive already or just use your duct tape to seal them good
if you have floor boards go along the edge and see if you can feel cool air coming in or see light
I dont know how old your house is but many old ones {mine for one} have this problem, then seal the cracks with either hot glue or caulking
weather stripping around your doors and a storm door if you dont have one already
close doors and heater vents in rooms you dont use all the time

Tapestries are a decorative insulation for walls. :thumbsup:
