Let's start by saying that I rent my house, so anything I do should be absolutely non-destructive and easy :) Yes, if that doesn't work, I'll ask my landlord but I'm guessing this could get a little expensive, so I'd rather try first.
Also warning, I'm in the US but English is not my first language, and handywork isn't my best skill, so I don't know a lot of the right terminology.
So my kitchen is freaking cold. There's a big draft coming from under/behind the cabinets. The whole house was remodeled 3 years ago, but since it's a rental, they didn't exactly take good care of doing things well.
Today I removed the under-sink cabinet's back to check what was going on (it's the only one that is removable. All other cabinets have their own, real backing, This one is just a few planks of cardboard nailed together. I will aso have to pull out the dishwasher). There's a big-ish space between the cabinets and the exterior wall, due to the shape of the house.
There's a couple hoses going in the wall creating gaps - I can fill those up with spray foam, no problem.
But the worst of the draft is coming from the floor. It's just a couple of planks above the crawlspace, and there's a big gap between them. See pics. My question is, what would you use to fill that up or cover it and stop the draft? What material?
(Next step would be to get into the crawlspace to see if I can plug the gaps from there, but it's going to be tough since it's not a full basement).
I obviously don't care what it looks like.
OR, should I just give up and call my landlord? For those of you who are LL, would you care enough to do something if one of your tenants called you for that kind of things?
