🚪🛠️ Homeowner Hack: The Dollar Bill Test for Drafty Doors! 💨💰

Want to know if your doors are letting in cold air, heat, or even pests? Try this super simple test with just a dollar bill (or a piece of paper)!


👉 Step 1: Close your door on the bill, leaving a small part sticking out.

👉 Step 2: Try pulling the bill out without resistance.

👉 Step 3: If it slides out easily, you’ve got a draft!


💡 Why It Matters:

  • Drafty doors = higher energy bills 📈💸

  • Small gaps can invite bugs, dust, and humidity into your home 🦟🌡️

  • Weatherstripping is a cheap & easy fix that saves $$$ in the long run!


BONUS TIP: This trick also works on windows—test them to keep your home cozy in winter & cool in summer! ❄️☀️
