My mother in law is coming to visit for a week and I dread it. She is a pretty demanding guest and I know she doesn’t like me. I bend over backwards trying to make the house perfect. I get a whole bunch of food and prepare a meal every night. I do laundry daily […]

The HVAC closet door is too cute
When it is hot, that means it is time for outdoor projects. During the cold season, I stay indoors. I work from home, COVID is still a thing and it is cold. I have been spending a lot of time indoors this season. It is really nice since I just moved into a new home […]
I met my husband on the job.
When I met my husband, I didn’t really like him very much. He was a cocky, know-it-all you thought he was the only one in the company who could do his job properly. I couldn’t believe how condescending he was. He talked me through the first job all the way to the customers house. He […]
I hadn’t talked to him in over a year.
Fifteen months ago, my brother announced that he was quitting the family business. I couldn’t believe the way my dad reacted. He told him that if he wasn’t good enough to work with, then he wasn’t good enough to be his father. My brother was so upset that he walked out of the house and […]
There were several different air conditioners available.
When I bought the house, all the appliances were brand new. The only thing I didn’t give a second thought to, was the air conditioning. When they said all of the appliances were brand new, I thought they were also talking about the HVAC system. I was so wrong, that it was almost laughable. I […]

They have been clearing the trees, brush, plants and the debris. Last weekend, they started erecting a structure on the property. […]
I wanted to buy a smart thermostat, but we settled for a programmable machine
When the house thermostat stopped working, my husband and I went to the hardware store to find something new. Neither one of us ever purchased a thermostat and we were very shocked and surprised by all of the options. We talked to the sales clerk about different types of thermostats. My husband and I plan […]
After dinner, the furnace starting acting strange
My wife and I went to see a couple of friends last Friday night. We planned to have dinner and play cards for a couple of hours. Our friends made a wonderful dinner on the barbecue. We had chicken, steak, fish, and shrimp. We had baked potatoes with sour cream, butter, chives, and cheese. Dinner […]
The floor was covered in a slimy substance
One year for spring break, my husband and I decided to take the kids to a theme park for the week. We had an exceptionally large tax return and we planned an exciting vacation for the kids. We rented a hotel room at a resort close to the theme park.The kids got to eat breakfast […]
