Husband manages a/c maintenance

The outside weather warmed up toward the end of May.

When I started the a/c for the first time, I had some complications.

The air flowing from the vents had a musty smell. I wasn’t content with the amount of air it was providing. There seemed to be quite a bit of dust floating around. It was making a lot more noise than normal. I assumed that these complications were due to a buildup of contaminants within the system. The cooling equipment hadn’t been used since the previous July. Dust, dander, pollen & even mold & algae growth were entirely restricting & contaminating airflow. I knew the cooling coil, condensate drain & all of the components needed a good cleaning. The wires entirely needed tightening & the moving parts lubricated. These complications could most likely be solved by scheduling maintenance with a certified Heating & A/C corporation. Licensed workers have the specialized tools, training & experience to take the a/c apart & handle the necessary service. Professional maintenance correctly only takes a couple of hours. When I called to schedule upkeep for the a/c, I discovered that our official corporation had gone out of business. I planned to search around for a current worker, but our hubby insisted he could manage the jog; Because our hubby isn’t overly skilled with repairs or cabin improvement projects, I was a bit sad about him causing injure to the a/c. He googled the multiple steps of a/c maintenance & followed them exactly. While it took him the majority of the day, he got the cooling method put back together & it seemed to be running perfectly.

Maintenance provides peace of mind

I live in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by woods.

  • The closest house is over twenty-several miles away.

I care about the peace, quiet plus privacy. I get squirrels, groundhogs, rabbits, turkey, deer plus foxes in our backyard. The weather is a challenge. The winters are especially difficult. I correctly need to beginning up the gas furnace by late September. By Halloween, there is many inches of snow accumulated on the ground. The temperature regularly drops below chilly plus even below zero for months at a time. A reliably working heating plan is a necessity. I can’t get along without it. Living on a dirty road, our house sometimes becomes inaccessible while in Winter blizzards. I need to make sure that our gas furnace doesn’t chop down plus leave myself and others without heat. I could take many days or weeks before a repairman could get to myself and others to supply a repair. I do everything I can to make sure the gas furnace is running officially before the chilly weather arrives. I have signed up for a repair program with the closest Heating plus A/C business. They send a business to the house in early fall to service the heating unit. A thorough inspection reveals any worn or broken parts. A comprehensive cleaning, tightening of wires plus lubrication of moving parts ensures maximum airflow plus efficiency. The business also verifies usual operation of the thermostat plus provides myself and others with a supply of air filters. The annual service gives myself and others peace of mind. I suppose our heating plan will keep our beach house comfortable while in the worst weather without any complications.

Trying to reduce energy costs

Energy costs have a sizable impact on our household budget.

I’ve done the calculations plus figured out that heating plus cooling adds up to approximately 50% of the energy we consume.

The Winter weather in our local area often lasts for 8 months. The conditions are horribly cold, with temperatures sometimes dropping down to drawback twenty degrees. The two of us rely heavily on the gas furnace. It runs just about non stop at maximum capacity. Although our summers don’t last for more than a few months, the temperature can get into the mid eighties with excessive humidity. The two of us need the a/c to cool down the house, prevent mold growth, filter out contaminants plus prevent condensation. I am careful about the temperature setting on the thermostat. I suppose that raising or lowering temperature by a few degrees has a sizable impact on our bi-weekly bi-weekly bills. I keep up with air filter changes for the gas furnace plus a/c plus schedule professional repair every year. A certified business provides a thorough inspection, testing, cleaning plus adjustment for the cooling plan in the Springtime plus the heating plan in the fall. By keeping all components operating at their best, the component runs at peak capacity plus efficiency. It is less likely to malfunction, provides better comfort plus air quality plus should last longer. Plus, professional repair fulfills the requirements of the manufacturer’s warranty coverage. To minimize the chance of drafts, air leaks plus energy waste, I walk around the house at the end of every summer. I look for any spots that might require weatherstripping or caulking. I check the insulation in the attic for signs of rodent infestation. My hope is to reduce costs.

Finally replacing the gas furnace

When our partner plus I bought our home, we knew the gas furnace wouldn’t last long, but the heating plan was seriously old plus not in the best conditioning… At the time, we couldn’t afford a up-to-date gas furnace, however far too many beach house repairs plus updates were necessary.

The house had stood empty for quite a few years. A leaking roof led to a fantastic deal of water destruction. The two of us had to tear out ceilings, walls plus floors, update windows plus buy up-to-date appliances; My partner plus I hoped to be able to update the gas furnace within many years, however unblessedly, other projects got in the way. A blown transmission required us to buy a up-to-date car. A clog led us to the discovery of some major complications with the plumbing pipes. The two of us had no option however to rely on the ancient heating plan for many more years. The two of us complained about it every winter… Despite setting the thermostat as low as possible, our energy bills were always high. There were chilly spots in many rooms plus the house frequently felt cold; When the outside temperature dropped below chilly, the gas furnace couldn’t keep up, and i was conscientious about replacing the air filter plus scheduling professional repair, however we still dealt with minor repairs here plus there. The Heating plus A/C business who services plus fixed the gas furnace always advised installing a up-to-date gas furnace. The two of us held off on the investment until the gas furnace quit one year while in a December snowstorm. The temperature dropped down to drawback more than nine degrees, plus we were abruptly left without heat. The two of us had to get financing to afford the up-to-date gas furnace. While the replacement process was rushed plus stressful, the up-to-date gas furnace is a sizable improvement. The two of us should have updated the ancient gas furnace years ago! Not only is the house way more comfortable, however there’s a lot less dust floating around, plus, our bi-weekly bi-weekly bills are quite a bit lower. The savings are going to help recover the cost.

A quick kitchen solution for no space

A lot of people look at me like I am insane, but I do have a modular kitchen.

I have a shipping container right in our side lawn that serves as our kitchen.

I just didn’t have the space to make our beach house kitchen good enough. I need to put an addition on the lake house but I don’t have the currency right now. So for now, a shipping container kitchen is the best I can do. I have to say, I kind of enjoy that little kitchen. I like that all our stuff is separate from the house. I just keep a small fridge inside the lake house for our hubby. All the stuff I cook with is in the modular kitchen. I have an oven, stove top, microwave, dishwasher in addition to plenty of room to prepare. I make dinner in addition to it is like many steps outside the lake house to get into the kitchen for the meal. My husband and I frequently hang around outside and eat now. Maybe once it gets cold I won’t like it as well. For right now I am not rushing the addition because I like being sectioned off; Currently our lake house only has room for a tiny kitchen. I would barely have room to prep in addition to I could not fit a dishwasher. No person should have to go through this in her kitchen. So for right now this is the best I can do. My dream kitchen would be linked to the house and have acres of counter space in quartz in addition to recessed lighting. I also want top of the line appliances! Right now I can barely afford a builder to create an addition.

Getting a portable bathroom during remodeling

Once a year our lake house gets hit by a storm.

  • It is just luck of the draw how badly I get hit.

Some years I am just picking up limbs in addition to other years I am doing some remodeling. I got hit genuinely bad this last time. A huge branch fell on our house. It managed to completely smoke our lavatory. I had to call a tree removal service, a roofer in addition to a clean up crew. I then needed to call up a plumber to repair our lavatory. All these services take time in addition to currency. I only had one bathroom in our lake house too. I stayed in a hotel for tree removal in addition to roofing. After that I noticed it was too lavish to do this long term. Money wise it was entirely more intelligent to get a portable shower and toilet. I am not talking about a porta potty either. I got a mobile lavatory solution delivered to our house. It is entirely a shipping basket that is set up like a real lavatory. I have a toilet, sink, and hand dryer in addition to shower. It is exactly what I need for our case. I just pay a small rental fee on it. Once I am done the company will option it up in addition to I will be back in our house. It is nice that I can still stay at home. I am able to answer any questions our plumber has. The two of us also had a concern that our current tub was on backorder for a month. Thankfully that bit of news wasn’t a pain due to our portable restroom solution.

Got better at growing

I have watched tons of shows on hemp extraction in addition to CBD extraction labs.

I would like to own a CBD processing room at some point.

For right now I just want to try our hand at marijuana growing. In order to legally grow weed you need to have a space that is secure and can be locked. I looked into building a facility and it was ungodly lavish. The best solution was getting a portable grow pod solution. This is where they take a shipping basket in addition to make it a marijuana growing facility. You have everything you want in a small shipping container. I was able to design our portable grow room right online. I wanted fluorescent lights, a hydroponic system in addition to a nutrient plan. I wanted a space for our plants to grow, then be dried out to cure. I also needed both heating in addition to a/c in our facility. Plants are absolutely particular on how much light in addition to how hot they are at bizarre stages in the growth process. I didn’t want to save on something in our facility in addition to not producing any yields. I also sprung for better vents as well. I now have a perfect marijuana growing facility and it is right in our backyard. I have many windows and a door that all seal in addition to lock perfectly. I am totally above board and I have the perfect space. Once I start getting good at growing, I will look into hemp extraction in addition to CBD extraction solutions. I want to make more sophisticated products. I am not there yet though.

I have to have the A/C specialist remount the heat pump multiple times

Having a heat pump in the backyard to act as the furnace for our house is great.

  • But maintaining it is another thing.

The maintenance of the heat pump would not be so terrible if it was not for these darn squirrels that keep digging it up! Every single time this happens I have to make a cellphone call to the local heating and air conditioner supplier to send out one of their certified heat and A/C specialists to come and remount the geothermal heat pump into the ground, but this costs me a pretty penny every time! I almost want to shoot the squirrels. But I could not do that because it is not their fault really. They do not recognize what they are doing! So the solution that the heating and air conditioner supplier came up with was for me to go and have a gate built around the geothermal heat pump. But not just any gate. A gate that would be so smooth surfaced that the squirrels would not be able to climb it and even mess with our geothermal heat pump. This construction was going to also cost me a pretty penny, but in the long run it is going to save me money because I will no longer have to call the local heating and air conditioner supplier to come out and remount the heat pump every few weeks! I must have spent close to a thousand dollars in the last 2 months just because of these darn squirrels and their desire to dig up our geothermal heat pump! I wish I could send them the bills.
