Annual furnace tune-up

I had no idea that people would call the local HVAC company months before the winter and have their furnaces tuned up

My husband recently got a new job that required us to move across the country. We had lived together in the same area since we were kids and I was not ready for a new climate. We grew up in a tropical climate that didn’t get cold weather at all. We didn’t have cold winter temperatures and we never even had a reason to have a heating system in our house. However, the new town that we were going to experienced extreme winter weather. I am talking many inches of snow each year and really bad snow storms. I knew that this kind of weather would take us a while to get used to but I wasn’t quite expecting it to be as bad as it actually was during the winter. I have never used a furnace before, so the idea of an annual furnace tune-up was a foreign idea to me. I had no idea that people would call the local HVAC company months before the winter and have their furnaces tuned up. Where we are from it makes sense to have your air conditioner serviced, but I never even thought about my furnace when we moved into our new home. I really hope that we can get a HVAC company out to the house soon because there is supposed to be a bad snow storm in a couple of weeks and the last thing we want is to have our furnace stop working during a bad winter storm.

Trying to make some extra money

My family has been really struggling with money for the past few months.

I tried to work some overtime, but I have officially capped out the amount of overtime I am allowed to take.

So, I have been trying to think of some creative ways for me to make extra money each month. I decided that the best thing for me to do is to look for a second job. I started looking for a new job only and surprising found some really great options. The most flexible part time job I found was for a local HVAC company that was wanting to hire someone to work in their warehouse for five to ten hours a week. This is exactly what I was looking for and I called the HVAC company right away to see if I could schedule an interview. I was actually looking forward to meeting with the HVAC company because it sounded like I would be perfect for the job. I didn’t tell my wife about the interview because I didn’t want to get her hopes up. However, I was so happy to make the call to her after the interview and tell her I got the job! I am really looking forward to working for a HVAC company and learning new skills about heating and cooling equipment. I think this will help us save even more money in the long run if I can work on our HVAC system without having to call a HVAC company to come out to the house.

Working remote

I have been working for my company for about ten years now.

Over the past couple of years the company had really grown and we no longer had enough room in the office to support the amount of employees that were working there.

Since I have worked for the company since the very beginning I was given the choice to work from home. I jumped at the chance right away because I loved the idea of getting to work from my house. A couple of my other co workers decided to start working from home has well. After a couple of months, I am still loving working from my house. I even had a new HVAC system installed because I wasn’t thrilled with my old HVAC system. My old HVAC system was just that, old. It was noisy and didn’t cool my house down at a rate I was happy with, I really wanted to feel the effects of my HVAC system. Since I own my home and don’t have to go through a landlord, I thought it would be the best idea to just upgrade my entire HVAC system all together. It has been about a months since I upgraded the HVAC system and it was the best decision I have ever made. Well the best decision since deciding to work from home and not go into the office every single day. I have even been saving a bunch of money on gas and other expense relating to my commute. Overall, I am very happy with my choice.

Annoying coworkers

I work in an office with a bunch of people.

  • I am lucky that most of the people in my office are my age, but I have to admit that are pretty annoying.

Most of my coworkers are always complaining about something. It doesn’t even matter what it is I feel like they just want to hear themselves talk. I try to be friendly with them but I don’t want to have friends that just like to sit around, complain and gossip all the time. I will go with them to happy hour sometimes, but then they just get even worse and start talking poorly about other people in the office. One thing they just can’t seem to let go is the temperature of the office. They always think the air conditioner is blasting when it’s not. However, instead of telling upper management that they have a problem with the temperature of the air conditioner, they just sit around and gossip about how our boss isn’t a good leader. Maybe they should voice their opinions to someone that can actually make a change. I don’t think the air conditioner is a problem, but I know that if I was freezing cold every day at work I would make sure to tell my boss right away. Nothing good comes out of them just sitting around and chatting together, maybe I should go to my boss and say they are the problem and not the air conditioner. Maybe that would keep them from being so annoying all the time.

Building my dream home

I moved away from home with I was eighteen to go to college and ever since then I have been renting apartments and sharing houses with friends so that I could save money.

I have been saving as much as I can by having as many roommates as possible throughout the years.

However, I am no ready to begin thinking about moving into a place on my own. After looking at the numbers, I think my best bet is going to be building my own house. I know that it will be expensive, but I have been saving for over ten years now and I have a great deal of money put away. I have been working with a local designer to figure out how I want the place to look. This week we have a meeting to go over how I want the heating and cooling system to be set up. I have always imagined that I would have a brand new heating and cooling system in my home, so that is what I am going to do. I have called a couple of HVAC companies to give me a quote and to be honest it is not as expensive as I thought it would be to have a brand new heating and cooling system installed. I am going to make sure all my new HVAC equipment is the best money can buy because I have been saving for so long and I want to make sure that I am comfortable in my new home. I won’t spare any expense!

Mission trip

I have recently decided that I want to take a year off school and go on a mission trip with my church.

My church does many mission trips every year and I have been on a few of them before. Normally the mission trips only last for a week to a month, but I have really been waiting a change lately and I think this would be the perfect thing for me to do. I have talked with my parents about my decision to take time off of school and they don’t have a problem with it at all. So, I talked with the person organizing the trip and let them know my decision to join after all. I have about three weeks until we leave for a third world country and I have been trying to prepare myself as best as I can. However, there is something I am not sure I am ready to handle and that is the lack of air conditioning where I will be going. I have been lucky enough to grow up in a home with an updated heating and cooling system, so this is not something that I have had to worry about before going on this trip. I am trying to decide if I want to go out a purchase a mini air conditioning unit so that I will be comfortable where I am going, but I don’t think that is a good idea. I don’t want to seem like I can’t handle the weather conditions by bring my own air conditioner, no matter how small it might be. In the end I did not bring the air conditioner with me and I am happy that I was able to brave the elements on my own.

The fuzzy animals

Not long ago, my sibling decided to move back to our hometown, having lived out of state for multiple years… My partner and I have been solely responsible for our aging parents, and my sibling decided she should help with their ever-growing needs.

  • My partner agreed to turn the second floor of his office building into an home for her, as it’s located less than a mile away from my parents’ house, then the ductwork of the existing HVAC system was already installed throughout the building and was fairly new, but and the rooms were self-explanatory enough to convert from office space into an apartment.

Right before she moved in, she asked about having a pet. The criteria that was agreed upon was that the pet had to be quiet and not leave odors, since the home would be directly above the business. After a bit of research, my wonderful friend and I found that chinchillas fit the criteria! She was so excited to purchase two of the adorable little creatures; But she learned from the breeder that they require a easily cool environment, with temperatures between sixty and sixty eight degrees fahrenheit. As a result, the a/c was running constantly during the exceptionally moderate summer. Before long, the air conditioning unit in the attic started leaking through to the second floor apartment, but once the concern was discovered, there was significant harm to the drywall and hardwood floors, and when an HVAC serviceman came to address the problem, he discovered that the condensation line was cracked, absolutely due to the overtaxed air conditioning system; It was an self-explanatory enough repair and the insurance contractor covered the harm. But he advised that, in the future my wonderful friend and I should properly have the HVAC system ran tests on to avoid similar troubles – which my wonderful friend and I honestly will!
