My older brother Sven has a geothermal heat pump on his property, and he swears by it. Sven and I are not big fans of modern society, and how everyone was monitored through their banks and credit cards. Sven was so stoked with his new set-up because it allowed him to go off the grid […]
Living on the mountain; we get a lot of strong winds. Sometimes it sounds like all the trees are breaking, but it is just the wind blowing through them. I like when there are downdrafts. You can hear the house moving as the wind tries to lift it off the foundation. The downdrafts can also […]
When we went to visit this house we were interested in, I knew it was old. It looked like a plantation from the late 1800s. It was run down and needed a lot of work, but my husband and I weren’t afraid of hard work. When we saw the house was for sale, we pictured […]
Our furnace worked amazingly well, as long as you weren’t barefoot. I hated wearing shoes in the house. There was something about mucking up the clean floors with the outside dirt.

I’m so excited about my new HVAC system that is going to be delivered next week! I think that when you get older you are more excited about different things than you used to be. I can’t remember ever being excited about getting a new appliance delivered to my house before. This is a first […]

During the winter, I love going to sleep to the sound of the furnace. For some reason, the furnace in my house is really loud all the time. It has been that way ever since I moved here. I moved into this house about three years ago, and so I have been here for three […]
Meh. I wasn’t impressed with the hotel I was staying at. I was only going to be here for a day. I needed to take a break from my 4 hour drive, and rest my eyes for a bit. I could tell I was getting sleepy when my eyes began to blur, and I did […]
When my air conditioning system first went out, I really wasn’t that concerned. Was it inconvenient? Yes, but it is not like I couldn’t live without air conditioning. I’ll just call the cooling corporation in the morning to get a HVAC appointment scheduled. I did call the air conditioning company first thing in the morning, […]
On Tuesday night, my friends and I decided to go to a club to watch the game; Our favorite team was playing and both of us were hoping they would win… They’re only 2 games away from being in the playoffs, but my friends and I drank a lot of carona and both of us […]
