I’ve never lived in a house that I’ve owned myself. My adult existence so far has been contained within rented house units, where I can barely afford to pay the rent. Because I’ve constantly rented, I’ve had to find ways to decorate that are not permanent, so I can leave the house in the same

The no Heating and Air Conditioning challenge

I started my challenge during the most mild months of the year, with the hope that the weather would cooperate enough for natural ventilation to keep me comfortable I’m sure pretty much everyone has heard of the ice basket challenge, which was bigly popular a few years ago. It was supposed to be a charitable

Window A/C

Window A/C

Growing up, my parents never had enough money to upgrade our heating and cooling systems. There are six of us kids, so my parents had to save wherever possible in order to keep a roof over our heads. This meant lots of shared toys and clothes and less dining out. This also meant that we

Rust on my window unit AC

The window unit air conditioner in my dining room is genuinely old… Not only does the window unit AC make a lot of noise plus only labor when it wants to, however the back of the unit is completely rusted, then living close to the ocean, this is likely to happen. Some people say that

Heading to bed and needing to have a fan or lower the control unit

When summertime rolls around I get so happy because I feel like I have a life again. In the winter season I am cooped up inside and there’s not a lot of interest going on. Whereas when it’s summer time there are concerts, and so several fun things I like to do especially around where

I knew the noises were a sign of distress

I heard a weird and bizarre noise coming from the air conditioning unit in my apartment. It didn’t seem to affect the air conditioning system, so I tried to ignore the weird sound. After a couple of days, the noise stopped occurring and I forgot about it. This weekend I heard the same weird sound

Now that winter season is on the way I have to replace my Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system. I had to replace my Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system last year. However I could not afford to do this last year. I had a bunch of other things that I had to

Enjoying the noise of the air vents

I care about to fall asleep to the sound of other noises. I will turn the cable on. I will turn other things that make noise on. But the one thing I care about to listen to when I sleep is the air coming out of the air vents. I care about waking up in

My husband and I both were born and raised in the northeastern part of the country. We went to college and raised our family in the same area. As we approached retirement age, we got tired of the severe weather. We began to dread temperatures well below zero, feet of snow and blizzard conditions. Our

I’ve only recently moved to a brand new neighborhood in a really unusual climate than what I was accustomed to, and I’m trying my best to adjust. I’ve lived in the midwest for most of my life, and I have never had such a muggy climate around me, until now. It seems like every afternoon

Heating and Cooling in government buildings

This week, I did not go to work. I feel truly unbelievable about it. I needed a split from my severely stressful work environment, where everything has been going wrong for several months now. I cannot remember the last time that we had a single week separate from complete disaster. It seems like every time

Furnace never had air filter changed

I moved into my last house over 4 years ago, and stayed there until relocating just last month. It wasn’t a nice location by any means – it was situated in a giant complex that had incredibly cheap rent and basic amenities I needed to live comfortably. The building was seasoned and falling apart. The

In some cases, a heater just isn’t enough.

My sister is one of those people who is always cold. No matter how many layers of clothes she puts on, she seems to never really get warm. Once I noticed that she always had at least two pairs of socks on when in her house and she would still check the thermostat and try

My favorite place in the world is the movie theater! It fascinates me beyond compare. Reading about the history alone is enough to keep me captivated for hours. Years ago, movie theaters showed silent films. Then they added live songs with songsians playing songs along with the silent films. Finally, sound was added to make

Occasionally people make mistakes. This is absolutely the case in my life time & time again. I’ve learned to forgive myself & transport on from my errors rather than beating myself up too badly. One of the things that I have always been honestly anxious about was our budget & yearly expenditure. I always keep

Space heater gets water in it

Every winter, I gather all of the space heaters in the house and prepare for the long, cold winter. I make sure that they are all in working order and that each space heater is safe and good to go. Without doubt, there is always a space heater that does not work. This year, it

For the first 27 years of my life I lived within a 200 mile radius in the state I was born. I grew pretty accustomed to the way of life there, including the hard temperature. I didn’t realize how hard the weather made life until I recently relocated as well as got a taste of

Mom is too protective; terrified of kid falling in air duct

I really love my mom but she can be a bit over-the-top. She is constantly coming up with some new thing to be worried about and talking your ear off about it. If you aren’t interested that won’t stop her from running her mouth. I try my best to be patient and understanding with her
