Glad we got a pool heater

Buying a pool is a significant purchase that doesn’t add that much value to the house. If you really think about it, a pool isn’t a smart financial decision. I love swimming though and I know I would enjoy a pool immediately. So I pushed and pushed before my husband relented into getting the family […]

Only lived with heaters before

It is a nice change up I lived up north my entire life. I only relied on heating systems, there was no need for AC. The summer season is short and not particularly hot. There would be one or two days of heat that would follow with cold nights. There was no reason to have […]

Adding heated flooring to the kitchen

My kitchen is being remodeled as we speak. I have spared no expense to make it the kitchen of my dreams. What is nice is that my kitchen is really small, so buying expensive products isn’t an issue. I was able to get the best quartz countertop because there simply isn’t that much. I have […]

He needs to put money into the house too

My husband is big on investing and reading books about it. He has read Millionaire next door, Rich Dad, Poor Dad and many others just like those. The moral of those stories is you need to invest your money into assets that accrue more money overtime. You can’t buy things you enjoy since it is […]

The ductwork was off centered

I like buying houses, fixing them up and selling them for a profit. This is also known as a flip house. I come from a very handy family. It is quite easy for me to get everything back in tip top shape and sell within a year. I like that I have another home to […]

Removing the wood stove was awful

I removed a wood stove when I moved into my house. It was the first thing I demanded be changed. The previous homeowner was definitely a history buff and liked the old timey vibe of a wood stove. He had it sitting on a brick pad centrally located in the living room. The heater actually […]

I really should get ductwork cleaning

I don’t think anyone can’t hate popcorn ceilings like myself. I have scrapped a ton in my time. I have my own way of doing it now. I used to wet the popcorn, let it sit for a minute and then scrape it. That works pretty decent and gets the ceiling where it just has […]
