After college graduation, my friends and I planned to get away for a couple of weeks. It was possibly going to be the last time we would all be together. The six of us looked for a beach house that slept a minimum of eight. We figured we could have at least two bathrooms, and have a little bit of privacy. We couldn’t believe all the beach houses we found, but most of them were out of our price range. Then, we found the perfect place. There were three bathrooms and a hot tub. The house slept sixteen, was within walking distance of the beach, and it was $200 less than what we had planned to pay. We pushed the ‘rent me’ button and waited to be contacted. We had to pay up front, but if something happened where we couldn’t make it, we had to give them at least a forty-eight hour notice. When we finally got to the beach house, it was everything we expected. The only thing missing was air conditioning. Who would have thought they wouldn’t have air conditioning in a beach house. One would think that in order to rent a beach house, you should be mandated to have HVAC in it. Next time I look for something online, I’m going to need to read everything and not just the highlights. Even without the air conditioning, we had a great time. We were surprised at how many people could fit in a hot tub. It was almost better than air conditioning; of course I did say almost.
Please, go camping with me?
All my friends knew how much I hated camping, but somehow the subject had never come up with my boyfriend.
- I met him while in college, and the opportunity to refuse to go camping had never come up.
I couldn’t even remember a time when the subject of camping was uttered by anyone at college. After graduation, he asked me to go camping with him. If I hadn’t been so adverse to camping, I would have gone. He made a very good case for my going camping. He said that once we graduated we may not be together as much. He was going to miss me and he wanted some alone time between just he and I. I started to tell him how much I hated camping, but then I melted. He looked at me and said, “Please!. Go camping with me?” I forgot how much I hated camping and hugged him. The morning we were to leave, I tried to find a reason to back out, but I couldn’t. All the way there, I was dreading the item of camping. When we pulled up at a hunting camp, I almost cried. It was the cutest little cabin I had ever seen. There was a ductless HVAC system which I recognized instantly. I helped my father install ductless HVAC during the summer. He owned the HVAC company, but he and I did all the ductless HVAC installation. My boyfriend welcomed me to the family cabin. As I turned back to him from looking around, he was on his knees. I was glad I went camping with him.
My uncle wasn’t the usual hoarder.
There were plenty of shows on television that depict people who are hoarders.
I doubt there is anyone alive who doesn’t know what hoarding is? I knew what it was from the time I was old enough to talk.
My uncle had a menagerie in his house. It was cluttered everywhere, but it wasn’t the usual hoarder type of clutter. Each pile of clutter was set up as a living picture. He even had a bunch of old HVAC parts in the living room. They were set up like they were in an old cabin. I noticed that there were different types of HVAC systems in every room. While my uncle was in the hospital, his son decided to surprise him and have the house cleaned while he was gone. He wanted there to be a bedroom downstairs so he didn’t need to climb the stairs. That’s when we realized his odd habit of showcasing HVAC parts, spread to the upstairs. My cousin said he had never HVAC parts like this before, and he had been an HVAC tech for twenty years. I often wondered why he never came home and noticed this, so I asked. He said my uncle had started his hoarding when his mom died. He couldn’t change things back then, and his dad told him to move out. Although my uncle went to visit him, he wasn’t allowed to come back to this house. After all the HVAC parts were taken to the recycling center, we had enough money to install a new HVAC system into the house and get the house livable again.
Bitcoin is Diving on me Yet Again
I have a hand held ppm meter which I use once in a while to tell me how my air quality is doing
Will this bear market ever end? I guess it is just a big test of patience in the end, just like everything else in life, more or less. I’ve heard of a smart HVAC system but not quite sure what it means. Is it the smart thermostat they are talking about or is the rest of the unit smart too? I’m sure there have been a ton of new advancements since I had my unit installed so who knows what they have come up with over the past few years. Maybe the smart HVAC system tells you when the ducts and filters need to be cleaned and things like that. I’m sure they have a ppm meter in them which tells you how clean the air is coming from the vents. I like having a HEPA filter in my unit because it really cuts down on the dust in the air. I have a hand held ppm meter which I use once in a while to tell me how my air quality is doing. I live in a fairly clean air town since we don’t have buses or taxis everywhere but I still like to have a HEPA filter in my HVAC system to keep the air quality as good as it can be. I don’t like it when I can smell exhaust from a passing truck down my little street or someone cooking food in my building so I bought an extra air purifier for my living room where I spend most of my time. It’s better to be safe than coughing!
Trying to Find a Furnace Filter for Sale
I need to replace my furnace filter with a new HEPA filter soon.
I am getting a lot of fumes in here from the unit and I think I need to do a good cleaning of it.
I don’t know if the HEPA filter would catch all of the smell coming from the furnace so I need to look inside to see where the smell is coming from. I haven’t cleaned it in over a year and I am sure it is due for a good overhaul and tune up too. My friend is an HVAC technician and told me that any time my unit needs to be maintained he would be glad to help me. I haven’t talked with him in over a year and I don’t even know if he is living in this town anymore so I need to give him a buzz soon and see what’s up. I was an HVAC repairman long ago so if it comes down to it I could do the HVAC maintenance and cleaning myself. I need to be careful though because my shoulders are still healing from last year’s volleyball marathon on the beach. I can do simple things like clean the ductwork and HEPA filter but if there is any heavy lifting involved then I better have someone else do it who has good shoulders to work with. I also need to clean my stone fireplace because I see a lot of soot on the top of the fireplace where the flames burn and it is looking pretty bad.
Need to Take a Trip Back Home Soon
I am dreading booking a flight back to the states because I really don’t enjoy that long flight over the Atlantic but I need to go back and see my family. It’s been over two years since I have been back and I have lost my father since then. I just need to decide when I want to go back and go ahead and book the flight. It’s always kind of strange going back after being gone for so long because a lot of my friends are going to look much older. I guess I am looking older now too. My old furnace is looking older too as it has been in this flat since I moved in ten years ago. I think I will have to buy a new heating unit soon so I am starting to put some money away for that. I should have enough saved by the end of this year to be able to pay for a new one. I think a new central heat and air unit will cost me around $6000 and I have about half of it so far so I am getting there. Looks like today is going to be another rainy day so it will be me and my cat for the remainder of the day. My cat is perched up on the fireplace shelf and is purring away right now as I type. It will sleep till dark and then wake up to peruse my house while I sleep all night. I will need to run my furnace tonight because it is really cold.
May Be Switching to Zone Controlled HVAC Down the Road
I am waiting on Bitcoin to go up so I can replace my old outdated HVAC technology in my flat.
It has given me many years of good service but I think it is very inefficient in today’s standards and is costing me more money each month in power bills.
A new unit would save me hundreds a month as I run the air and heat a lot in this place due to the extreme weather we have had lately. I bet a new HVAC system would cut the costs of electricity by 50%, which means I would save about $200 a month, so in five years I would save over $12000. The rates for power have gone up 100% over the past year so now it is critical to have a high SEER rating for the central heat and air unit. I don’t have a lot of money because it is all locked in cryptos for the next couple of years so I need to make money by saving money. The air conditioning and heating is my main expense when it comes to utilities here so I need to target them and work on reducing their carbon footprint. I am pretty good with hands-on work so I am sure I could help the guys when they come to install it. I think I will go to the HVAC business today and see what kind of HVAC technology they have in the store. The old man working there has some great stories to tell me, so it is fun visiting them.
