HVAC Repair Tips for Homeowners

They wanted their weekends off and it didn’t matter what we were paying

When we planned for a new window installation, we thought we would have the people who sold the windows to us; do the installation. When they told us they didn’t have anyone available to do the window installation before the new year, we were devastated. They wouldn’t recommend anyone to us, and we thought they doomed us to have the old windows in the house when our company arrived. Our house was old and drafty, and the last of the changes needed to resolve that situation were new window installations. We had the windows for the house in the garage, along with the insulation, and the wood to build new window ledges. My husband had bought a case of window caulk, but that was in the basement where it wouldn’t freeze. All the window installation crew had to do was come to the house and install them. I would think the window installation crew would take the job since we will pay a premium price for the window installation, be we thought wrong. Not only wouldn’t they do it, but they didn’t care about the money. They wanted their weekends off and it didn’t matter what we were paying. We had to wait for the home center to get a crew free so we could get the window installation completed. My wife and I chose one window and wanted to install the window on our own, but we were confused after reading the window installation instruction. There was no way we could do any window installations without professional help, so we gave up before we started.

There are a few things I dislike about being the owner of a rental home. My parents owned multiple homes, plus they rented 1 to people they knew, then they had a 1-year lease, since Dad plus dad were planning to sell the house plus move back into the 1 on the mountain. Dad plus dad were sure they knew the people well until the lease ended. They had a 1 month to vacate notice, that turned into numerous weeks. It had Dad plus dad distraught they may have to rent a home because they sold their house. If the people didn’t move out soon, they would have no place to live! Dad finally had the state police physically remove them! When dad walked in, she was devastated. The windows were broken, there were holes in the walls, plus doors were off their hinges. The lawn was so long that it was up to our waist plus there were snakes everywhere. Dad plus dad had multiple weeks to get the mess cleaned up plus make the home livable. Dad called in a favor from a local general corporation plus told them what had to be done, she needed window upgrade, door replacements, new drywall plus painting. She also needed a deodorizer because the home smelled of pets plus cats. When she told him she needed a gardener to do some landscaping, Dad laughed. They had already planned on doing the landscaping together, but needed someone to do the door replacements plus window upgrade. Dad said the general corporation owed him a big favor.

Two years ago, both of us were told they were putting sewer lines on our street, and every one of us thought it was a fantastic system to have sewer lines instead of messy sewer tanks in the backyards, and the entire neighborhood agreed, then two weeks later, both of us acquired notices both of us had numerous weeks to have the section dug up where the sewer lines were going to be localed; I must have learn the notice several times before I concluded they were telling both of us had to pay for the excavation of the section where the mandatory sewer lines were going in.

It cost us $730 to link to the sewer lines, and both of us then had to pay almost $100 a month to the sewer authority, by the time both of us were done getting the sewer lines in locale and linking to the sewer pumping station, both of us had spent nearly $4000 and hadn’t acquired our first daily bill! My hubby went to the township meeting and wanted to think how they could mandate the sewer system, and make us pay for something both of us hadn’t voted on.

They said they had that authority, even though I wasn’t as glad as our hubby, and he was furious. Many of our friends and neighbors were also at the meeting, and some of them had paid nearly $10,000 to hook into the mandated sewer line because of the amount of street front property they had. Even with our protesting, it made no difference! When they doubled the cost of our sewer bill a year later, I was one of the first to put a ‘for sale’ sign in our front yard, even though I wasn’t the last.

There are tons of videos on the internet that I prefer watching, and it’s kind of embarrassing however our guilty delight is watching the pimple popping videos. I can’t explain why because as gross as they are, I find some kind of delight in watching them. I also prefer watching videos of people eating, for some different reason, I find it satisfying as well, however perhaps it’s because I don’t eat a lot of the food that are usually featured on these videos as well as watching others eat that food brings myself and others some level of joy. I have no other explanation or reasoning why I indulge in these videos, however another style of videos that I prefer are bee rescue videos. I find it fascinating how comfortable beekeepers are around the bees! The beekeeper in these videos does not wear any protective gear. And when she is rescuing the bees, she occasionally uses her bare hands to scoop them up to locale them inside their new hive. Personally, when I see a single bee flying around in our personal space, I usually freak out about it, so I can’t imagine being in the midst of hundreds or perhaps thoUSAnds of bees with no protective gear. Beekeepers are brave as well as the person from those videos have received our respect. I wouldn’t be as calm if I had to handle that several bees on a yearly basis. Becoming a beekeeper requires the person to have a easily calm demeanor because I feel anything else would cause the bee removal process to be chaotic. I feel that I can’t become a beekeeper so I will just continue to watch the incredible videos of them in action.
