It really sucked to not use the movie screen for the hottest part of the summer, but we had no choice but to stay inside with the air conditioning Last winter, thanks in part to going stir crazy from the pandemic, my wife and I assembled a cool outdoor movie theater in our backyard. We […]

When I took apart my first air conditioner, I didn’t know that I was taking a glimpse into my future. My father was the handyman for a local hotel at the time, and I would spend a lot of time at work with him. We didn’t have money for a sitter ,or day care, so […]

Usually I do a full and deep cleaning of my house once or twice a year. Some people call it Spring Cleaning, but I don’t have a set time of the year to do it, just when the mood strikes me. This year was a little different, because I had actually skipped doing it last […]

Last year was my first encounter with a tornado, however, and I have to say it’s a lot more terrifying to witness. I was at home, […]

I don’t know how I am ever going to get any sleep at night. My house is always so cold. I have come to learn that my house is always cold because my air conditioning system is always on blast. You mean Wonder why I don’t do anything about my AC being on blast but […]

After several years of not having any regular heating and AC care I decided that it would be a good time to catch up on caring for my HVAC system. So I got on the phone and scheduled an appointment with our local heating and AC business. I scheduled to have tune-ups performed as well […]
