Appalachian mountain home fixes: heating, pest control and power-outage prep

Audience

Rural and small-town US homeowners, especially people who heat with wood or live where ice storms cut power, who want low-cost DIY fixes, pest control and outage preparation. Inferred from titles, descriptions and the about text; the pack has no audience statistics.

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic, AI-generated older man with a grey-white beard and weathered face, wearing a brown felt hat, an olive canvas vest and a dark henley, framed from the chest up and usually pointing at a prop or scene in snowy cabin, kitchen and roadside settings.

Format

One practical home problem per video, about 18-20 min: a folksy set-up line, a promise of what viewers will know by the end, numbered steps or a priced item list, then a task for this week, a comment question and a teaser for the next video.
