Default Feeling a cold draft

C You'll have to do a little investigating. The draft could be coming
C from around the windows (are the older?). We could feel a draft
C coming from the outlets in the living room so put an 'outlet
C insulator' under the plate == can be purchased in hardware stores.
C Is a set of thin foam panels with cutouts for the duplex outlets and
C switches.
C That outlet insulator, is that the same kind of insulator foam pad that
C comes with exterior GFCI outlets?

Similar. The insulators we used here came in a plastic bagged 'kit',
probably with the rest of the insulation/weatherstripping (it was
years ago!). The insulating foam itself is white (the foam with the
exterior outlets I've installed here is a silverish black) -- would
presume if you have outdoor pads available they would work.
