Today was cleaning day; vacuum, mop etc. There has been a lot tracked in by all the removalists etc. so it's nice to get the floors cleaned up (even if it is still working around boxes!) Hopefully now I've got the shoe change area set up and some mats down to reduce dust at the garage entrance it will keep things a bit cleaner. It's also a well sealed house which will hopefully reduce the amount of outside dust that gets in too.
I also did some weather stripping of the dog door insert, which has cut down the draughts from that a lot. I also have a plastic "double glazing" film to put on the glass panel at some point, which will just leave the bit of gap around the dog door itself leaking a bit of air. Not really much that can be done about that and still have it usable. I can feel the difference already from the weatherstripping, and it's stopped it rattling in the wind.
Tonight I'll be working, so I'll be heading off for a nap shortly which will hopefully help me get through it.
