3 hook lines (use one verbatim):
1) "I tried a This Old House energy test in my 1970s home—and the leak was right here."
2) "This Old House taught me to check ONE spot first… watch what the tissue does."
3) "If your house feels cold, don’t blame the heater—do this This Old House draft test in 30 seconds."
Everyone wants a ‘full renovation’—nobody wants to buy weatherstripping until they see it work.
