Did you ever hear the term “shotgun ceremony”. I still laugh when I suppose about the afternoons when a couple would end up in a “situation” and she vision of the dad standing there with a shotgun in her hand in case the groom tried to escape. As ridiculous as it sounds, this did happen
Additionally, she cleaned out my ductwork as well as did a general tune-up on my air conditioner system… So now the air coming out of my air conditioner is chilly cold but it doesn’t entirely have ice crystals in it I had a dream that it was hailing as well as that I was being
You know after using me multiple unusual types of air cleaners over the years you would feel that I would appreciate HEPA filters. After all HEPA are one of the best kinds of air cleaners you could ever wish to buy. I’ve also used your purifiers plus those are pretty great too even though I
It lasted a year. When we first moved down south plus purchased a house, the dwelling needed quite a bit of repairs plus renovation. One of the powder rooms plus the study room required complete remodeling. My buddy and I replaced all of the appliances, fixtures plus drain pipes. My buddy and I originally hoped
We finally decided to have radiant radiant heated floors installed instead of a furnace. My wife and I debated a lot about the costs and pros and cons before deciding to call a heating serviceman to come out and look everything over and provide us a quote. The misses was certainly blissful that my buddy
I recently started dating again, and connected with a man online who asked me out to dinner. I was getting ready for our date when I felt hot. I panicked—I had some HVAC issues in the last few months, but I had yet to find a heating and cooling technician that I trusted to tinker
I adore sleeping in a cooler environment, but there’s nothing worse than being too chilly while trying to sleep, and last week, I woke up shivering in the middle of the evening! I was so chilly plus couldn’t get moderate no matter what I did, i piled two extra blankets on my bed plus pulled
I have an uncle who is a retired HVAC technician. He is always willing to help someone in need of an HVAC repair for a little extra cash on the side. He spent his life repairing heating and cooling systems and has more experience than most HVAC technicians on the market today. His father was
I have appreciated rollercoasters ever since I was a little kid. I savor going to amusement parks as well as I am not scared to lay in the front row of any ride; When I lived up north, I went to amusement parks in the summer. It was hot, however it usually wasn’t humid so
It isn’t often that my adult children come & spend the afternoon with me. I would appreciate to have them do so more often but with jobs & kids of their own they have truly hectic schedules. Last Tuesday when my kid said he was coming over I was cheerful, but then I distraught because
House hunting has been a lot of fun, especially since money is not an option this time. Years ago, when we were first married, we had to settle for whatever we could afford and just make it work. Now, we both have great jobs and are able to afford the lifestyle we have always wanted.
My furnace is downright ancient. Although it continues to operate, the system is no longer efficient or effective. My energy bills are a little higher every month, even while comfort diminishes. On especially cold days and nights, the furnace can’t keep up with demand and the house feels chilly. Living in the northeastern part of
I work for an employment agency and specialize in matching skilled laborers with local contractors. Without question, there’s a shortage of skilled laborers, and it’s anybody’s guess as to the cause. Some claim that the shortage is a result of society’s emphasis on four year college degrees over trade school certifications. In recent years, there
While doing routine inspections on my house building I handed out surveys to my renters. I wanted their input on ways that I could improve the place plus what amenities I could add to make their lives better. Keeping quality renters is pressing plus catching small problems is better than fixing major ones. I was
Just the other day I had to stay condo from work because I wasn’t feeling well at all. It always seems like the transition from cooler weather to hot weather does that to me. I was so stuffed up as well as my throat was hurting me that I didn’t want to go to work
Once installed to the ground, the heat pump would use the natural temperature of the ground to heat or cool my home. The heat during the summer months in this region is extreme. The temperature rises above 100 degrees at least three times a week and the humidity hovers around 70%. Over the years, I’ve
I have consistently hated hardwood floors. I grew up in a house with no carpeting whatsoever and my feet were consistently freezing cold, my Grandma, on the other hand, had nice lush carpeting and I enjoyed it. My feet were consistently so warm and comfortable when we stayed at Grandma’s house! That is why I
When my elderly neighbor was outside the other day I stopped to see how things were going. She was really quite so I could tell that something was wrong. After a few minutes she confided in me that her computer had been hacked and she wasn’t sure how that had happened. I asked her a
I am just not sure it is worth the extra cost or that my friend and I would really be saving cash on or cooling bill if my friend and I have two cooling systems running all winter We finally decided to have radiant radiant heated floors installed instead of a furnace. My fiance as
I’m not a fan of fixing things myself, however my hubby went to a bachelor party for his best friend’s upcoming birthday. He was gone for four afternoons and in those four afternoons everything broke, but i felt obligated to repair everything while he was away. I didn’t want him to come home to a
There are some things in life that I undoubtedly just do not love doing, then one of those things is cleaning. I like things to be clean, but I just do not love the actual cleaning process. I realized how much I was slacking in the section when my husband came home one day plus
I have a sizable shed located in my backyard that I use as my home gym. The cement floor, eight-foot ceiling and square footage are ideal. There is a window located at each end of the shed that is helpful to provide fresh air during milder weather. I like to workout first thing in the
It’s September plus fall is officially here! There are so many things that I like to do when the season fall arrives. I like to go pumpkin or peach picking with my family, it’s a yearly tradition that is always done. I am so happy to watch my number one Halloween films as well plus
The other night I had friends over to watch the Super Bowl. All of my friends and I are big fans of football and when the Super Bowl comes around every year we go all out. We will dress in our favorite team’s jerseys and cheer really loud. We even make all sorts of foods
Every year during the Summer I send my kids off to my parents house. They cherish spending time with their Grandfatherrents although I think as my friend and I get older it’s become more of a challenge to get them out there, then when they were younger it was always fun for them to go
One of my friends named Aubrey is quite gullable. She often buys items that look good on infomercials plus they are usually gadgets that don’t toil well. She has bought bootleg DVD’s plus she thinks that if something is on sale or if there is a discounted price that it must be good. She was
Last winter, when there was a problem with my heater, I went online plus googled furnace repairs, i found a list of Heating plus A/C companys that provide repair in my area, then rather than study client reviews or check their qualifications, I contacted the first one that caught my attention. I assumed that all
I am a heavy sleeper on most afternoons. I rarely wake up, no matter how noisy things get. However, my son’s shrieking, especially when he has a nightmare, may force me to jump out of bed to check on him once in a while. Tonight was one of those afternoons! My associate and I had
I’ve learned to never take for granted the location of one’s residence insofar as it relates to how comfortable it is to live there! For the longest time, I lived in a cabin with my family that was on a piece of land that saw direct afternoonlight with genuinely little foliage to give us shade!
I’ve always purchased my air filters from the hardware store. I’ve always done this because it’s what my parents always did, so I didn’t know to try anything different. I knew air filters were sold at the hardware store, so that’s the only locale I knew to find them, this all changed when I discovered
I am one of those weird people who loves school. As a child, I could not get enough school. I went to my regular classes of course, but I also went to every extra class that I possible could. The school building was my second home, and I had no problem with that. After highschool,
I share a suite of offices with four other professionals. We get along absolutely well and periodically socialize outside of office hours. We don’t have many complaints against our boss, and the issues that we do have with her aren’t that giant of a deal. She’s absolutely relaxing about giving us time off for appointments
I have learned a lot from flipping houses. For example: “don’t bite off more than you can chew”. In other words, don’t take on a project that is more than you can handle. For me, that means not intentionally buying a house that has problems that I can’t repair myself. Take, for example, this one
The kids were gleeful to finally be able to go to the theater & watch a movie again. It was nice to get out of the house even if the theater popcorn is fancy. The theater is still practicing social distancing so that is nice. No crowded theater for us. However, the theater must have
