I’m so not a cold weather sort of person. That’s just not my style nor my background. I’ve seen snow maybe a dozen times in my life and that was on purpose. Living down where I grew up, winter was not about anything but getting out in the sunshine and have fun. There was no […]
Whenever I can give back to my mom and dad, I am more than happy to do it. Those two have done just so much for me over the years. And it’s way more than providing me a home with quality heating and air, food and clothes. For that alone, I owe them a tremendous […]
I never thought I’d go in with someone to buy a house. But these days, it really made the most sense. My friend and I were both living in sort of not so great apartments in order to save for a downpayment on a home. Along with the weak HVAC cooling in our blazing summer, […]
In some ways, I’d been waiting just over five years to hear what the HVAC technician had to say. When the HVAC equipment turned twenty years old, I started a saving account so I would be caught off guard when it quit working. That’s just the worst to have a car or a roof or […]
Well, I clearly blew it once again. Whenever I try to cut corners or get around stuff, I tend to find a worse price is to be paid than what I was avoiding. Perhaps, this is a theme in life that I could pay closer attention to going forward. For sure, I got caught short […]
It’s just like such a different life these days. When you suffer with something like allergies all your life, it can be a struggle. Since I was the littlest kid, I’ve had a heck of a time with allergies. Inside the air conditioning of a house or outside, I get hit hard by pollen and […]
I wasn’t really great at paying attention. That had to do with a combination of being too full of myself and the concentration level of a gnat. And that’s a shame because I had a super role model for how to live your life. My dad made so many things about being an adult look […]
I was never in a big hurry to invest in central air conditioning for my home. I live in an area where the winter snow and freezing temperatures last for more than half the year. The spring and fall tend to be chilly, windy and wet. If we’re lucky, we enjoy two to three months […]
I just recently learned about electric heat pumps. I had never heard of this type of temperature control system until I started touring houses down south. I was ready to move from the north and get away from sub zero temperatures and snow. I’d never owned a house equipped with central air conditioning and always […]
One of the best home improvements I’ve ever made was adding a snowmelt system to my residence. The system eliminates the need to shovel snow multiple times per day for endless hours. I no longer spend money to hire someone to plow the driveway or worry about where to pile all of the snow. I […]
