I’m not the smartest person I know, and I don’t pretend to be. When other people are looking for advice or opinions on something, I shrug my shoulders and tell them I’m unqualified to offer any assistance. I don’t ever want people to get the bright idea to listen to what’s in my brain. This […]

When I put a new heating and cooling system in my new home, I thought I’d be ok for a few years. Things were finally working out! I had a good job, a home, and, finally, a reliable heating and cooling system! From the moment the HVAC professional arrived with the modern system, I thought […]

I do the best I can to be an enjoyable, humorous, pleasant person, but sometimes I fail. Am I socially inept, or what’s the deal? Often, my brain goes out of order, and I misbehave. This tends to push people away and reduces me to feeling like a total failure. It’s especially difficult when trying […]

I don’t prefer to make big statements because they usually backfire. Occasionally, I can entirely overstate something for being just miraculous. It wasn’t. That’s why I hesitate a bit when describing how much better our indoor air is thanks to air purification. I appreciate my house’s air now! That wasn’t the case for a long […]

I used to have no idea what winter was about. I wasn’t even close. Having grown up in the South, where only a heat pump was needed for heating, I had a fanciful idea of what winter was. It was like those Christmas cartoons when I was young, with fluffy snow and sledding and such. […]

Signing us up for the HVAC maintenance plan takes the job off for me. I’m trying to do better when it comes to finishing tasks around the house. This doesn’t come naturally for me. That’s a shame, because I had the chance to learn about being handy when I was a kid. My dad could […]

I had to do some creative financial stuff last year. Shrinking spending was needed. We were able to do this while working and taking classes from our air-conditioned home. The pandemic, of course, caused our financial straits. Straits isn’t an accurate description because we still had tasks. Had we not been able to work from […]

How my wife ever fell in love with me has always been a bit of a mystery to me. She’s amazing in so many ways! That’s not how I would describe myself, but everything has worked out and we are very happy, 15 years into our marriage. That says everything. However, in that effort to […]

When I bought a new home, I didn’t realize how shoddy the cooling system was until we had to use it. I actually went through two different HVAC companies and I was told the same thing that I should just upgrade to something better if I wanted effective cooling in my home. I had a […]

When I was living with roommates back in college, we all were able to get along pretty well. We all agreed on the same temperature control settings and we all took turns changing the air filter every single month. One issue was that the energy bills started going up a great deal. We asked the […]
