$8 and One Afternoon — The Amish Secret to a Warm House All Winter (No Heating Bill)

My neighbor paid $340 last month to heat his house. Mine cost nothing. It's been that way for 32 years. In this video, I'm showing you exactly what I do every fall to keep this farmhouse warm through Holmes County winters — no furnace, no gas bill, no contractor. Most of it costs nothing. The one thing you might need to buy costs $8 at any hardware store. What I cover: How to find every heat leak in your house using a single candle The $5 rope caulk trick that seals every window in one afternoon The door snake my wife makes from old feed sacks (free) Why we never heat the whole house — and what we do instead How south-facing windows work as a free solar heater all winter The $8 window film that turns a single-pane window into a double-pane This is what my father taught me. And his father before him. It works because it's physics — not because someone is trying to sell you something. Drop your state in the comments and tell me what you're paying for heat this winter.
