Light isn't really an issue. I have an open dining room, with a chandelier, with 5 100we CFL's, and 4 lamps around the living room, also with 100we CFL's. I can get it brighter in here than the sun can. 
About how big do those sheets of foam come? I measured, and my opening is 80"H x 70-9/16"W. I'm actually trying to do this on a budget, as my recent power bill has wiped out most of my spending cash this month.  |
First, you should talk to them now, since there will probably be a long line... AND the one day without a door will not cost as much as a month with a bad one. Also, if what you say is true and the temps get below 60 degF, even with heat at full blast, that is a major health concern that HAS to be addressed right away. When I was in college, an appartment would be deemed uninhabitable if it couldn't maintain at least 62 degF. The way I see it, if you don't take care of this somehow right now, you are just giving up you're spending money until spring.
My guess the foam would have a payback period of < 1 month and the talk about the door < 1 week.
