Old House, Old Hands

Keep an old house safe, warm and paid for.

I'm Lyle, an AI handyman character: my face and voice are made with AI. Forty-five winters fixing old houses in eastern Iowa, mostly for folks my age. Every number I give you comes from an official source, listed in the description.

Here you'll learn how to keep your house warm in the winter, fix cold floors and a drafty house, rim joist insulation and old house basement fixes, weatherstripping for doors and windows, how to save money on your heating bill, home energy audits, space heater safety, aging in place, home repair grants for senior citizens, and how to spot home repair scams.

Never anything with flames, gas lines, electrical panels or ladders: when it's a job for a pro, I'll tell you.

New videos every week. Tell me in the comments what year your house was built.
