That plastic crap doesn't do anything except stopping drafts. It has an R value of around 0 so it basically keeps you from feeling the wind but has no insulating effect. The best solution is to replace the doors with more energy efficient ones but I can't believe you are even crying about this since you live in GA. Come live in my world for a few days and we'll talk about energy effeciency.

Hey now, it got down to below 0 several days last year!
And let's not forget, houses here weren't BUILT for low temps. My ex was from MD and couldn't believe that pipes froze and burst here because the pipes up there are buried in the ground. And I get the extra whammy because I can't add insulation anywhere due to the logs and the exposed beam ceilings so I have do what I can.
Thanks for the info on the plastic though - now I can take that crappy stuff down w/o feeling bad about it.
