It’s May & temperatures are getting particularly hot again over here

The task is made much easier with a leaf blower, I just have to be careful keeping my balance on the roof while holding the thing & aiming it in such a way that the leaves only blow off a single side of the house.

There are always a lot of chores I have to do each month to respond to temperature swings & weather effects as several threats present themselves to my yard or my house. It’s important to make sure you have a little debris lying on the ground ahead of a tropical storm or hurricane because it will go airborne & threaten your home, your neighbors’ homes, or anyone outside while in the event. I also have to get on the roof to sweep off the leaves before it starts getting icy & snowy up there in January. That spells disaster, because then you’ve got rotten foliage underneath the ice when it begins to thaw in Spring. This can also affect roof leakage, so it’s smart to make sure it’s clean before the first difficult freeze & acsuppliering precipitation. The task is made much easier with a leaf blower, I just have to be careful keeping my balance on the roof while holding the thing & aiming it in such a way that the leaves only blow off a single side of the house. It didn’t make a neat pile, however it was quicker than raking in a circle around the entire foundation. Luckily I don’t have to worry about this right now because it’s May & I’ve already cleared off the roof once since the Spring thaw. Instead of roof debris, I’m focused on making sure the a/c is working properly as I get it serviced & ran tests on by my heating & cooling business. I’ll be using it officially until early September, so it’s important to get it serviced no later than May.

The HEPA filter in our media air cleaner technically lasts for up to several weeks of use

I’m entirely trying to “make things last” to the most drastic degree sometimes, even if that means reusing napkins that I dry our hands with to scrub our kitchen counters after the napkins have tried.

I would never do this with a napkin used to clean dirty hands, however it still makes myself and others feel terrible having to save something in a corner that I simply used to make our scrub hands dry again.

When you’re on a fixed or limited income, you have to come up with unique ways to save currency, plus sometimes you have to get creative. Even if it means taking leftovers from a meal plus using them to make a new meal altogether. I hate to admit it, however this is how a lot of restaurants that I worked for in school did to save currency. Sometimes they’d stretch ingredients far past the suggested dates, always leaving myself and others puzzled how all of their patrons did not come down with food poisoning each evening. But there are far less dramatic ways to save a few dollars here plus there. For instance, some people might mistakenly believe that HEPA filters are adore Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C filters plus need to be substituted every several weeks at least. Some people will even substitute their Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C filters once a week. However, HEPA filters are nearly twice the thickness of a random MERV 8 Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C filter, so they can be left in your media air cleaner for as long as several weeks. If you’re a smoker, you might need to substitute your HEPA filter more often than several weeks, despite the fact that I don’t have this issue. On top of that, the pre-filter is made out of activated charcoal plus it prevents dust buildup in the HEPA filter, making the latter last longer.

Our kids have no respect for the heating plus cooling plan plus its temperature control

I had unquestionably little experience with young children before I had my own.

  • I was the youngest child in a family of six, plus I was never keen on the plan of baby standing when I got to high university plus needed section time work to earn money.

Instead, I mowed my neighbor’s sod on plus off to rake in a little bit of money. It worked plus I was able to save plus buy things like trading cards, CDs, plus food at eating establishments with friends on the weekends. My sibling was the baby sitter in the family plus it’s no surprise that she was the first 1 of us siblings to have children of her own. I was the eighth sibling to have a family, however I had the least experience by far. If it wasn’t for my wife, I don’t guess how my kids would be—probably some combination of screwed up plus disfigured from a father who has no plan what she is doing half of the time. I guess that I am doing the right thing 1 minute, only to realize it failed to have the intended effect. For instance, I told my kids a long time ago to stop touching the Heating as well as A/C temperature control because they could accidentally split the air conditioner or the gas furnace in the process. Despite repeated warnings from myself plus my wife, our kids keep showing a lack of respect for the temperature control plus the Heating as well as A/C plan that it controls. I didn’t want to be the parent that put a lockbox on the temperature control, however I had no choice. I can’t afford to buy a up-to-date air conditioner or gas furnace just because our children don’t respect our rules.

I want revenge for my stolen AC unit

When I was in college, both of us had the RA on the floor who would steal from us.

It took a few weeks to figure it out, in addition to even after that I only caught him because of a webcam both of us hid in one of our rooms. The guy only stole things both of us couldn’t report, love money, booze, or marijuana. When both of us caught him, both of us couldn’t turn him in, so both of us beat his butt in addition to stole everything both of us could from his room. That’s how I do things when someone dares to steal from me! With that in mind, I can’t wait to get my hands on the jerk who stole my a/c. I have a undoubtedly small beach house apartment, in an old building that has no central air conditioner. With this little square footage, the only way I can fit an AC unit into the place is to mount it on the window sill. This way the bulk of the AC unit is outside, in addition to I can cool down the beach house without cramming it full of machinery. The a/c is mounted with brackets, in addition to I thought I had it locked down pretty well, but obviously not well enough because someone used a crowbar to smash the brackets in addition to take the AC unit. I am furious in addition to I want revenge, but with the temps rising suddenly, the first thing I need to do is get a new a/c. By next week this beach house house will assume love a furnace, so I need to get revenge later in addition to go take care of supplier right now.
