Movies under the stars, but only when it’s freezing out

I was lucky to have cool roommates when the lockdown hit.

Every one of us had a span of a few weeks where both of us literally could go nowhere, and were totally homebound.

If I had been trapped with another group of guys, it might have been torturous, but both of us managed to make the most of it. It helped that both of us were all easily into smoking weed and seeing motion pictures, because that was about all both of us could do. I had the plan to set up a makeshift motion picture screen in the backyard, so both of us could smoke and watch motion pictures under the stars. When it got cold, both of us dragged the old space furnace outside and used it as a footrest, but when it got too tepid there was little both of us could do. First of all both of us didn’t have a small a/c, and even if both of us did, resting it outside entirely wouldn’t make much difference to the heat and humidity. Also, there is a immense difference that I have seen in the volume levels of gas gas furnaces as opposed to cooling units. A space furnace might hum a little bit, but it will never be loud enough to drown out a motion picture, then can you imagine one of those hotel sized a/cs roaring away while both of us were trying to watch a motion picture? Even if it worked at cooling us off, both of us wouldn’t be able to hear anything else. Alas, outdoor motion picture afternoons only happen when it gets cold, and the rest of the time both of us stay in the boring old residing room with the central air conditioning.

The tornado ripped up our a/c

I heard a metallic shredding sound, and then the winds settled down and the noise went away! A few moments later the power came back on, but the air conditioning did not

This area of the country is known for hurricanes, not for twisters… Every year the state gets pounded with several big storm fronts, causing property injure to varying degrees; Last year was our first encounter with a tornado, however, and I have to say it’s a lot more alarming to witness, however i was at home, late at night, and the power went out. I didn’t even have time to get up from our chair when I heard what sounded savor a locomotive engine, passing right over the house. I heard a metallic shredding sound, and then the winds settled down and the noise went away! A few moments later the power came back on, but the air conditioning did not. I was too concerned to go outside, so I waited out the rest of the night without our air conditioning, when the sun came up, I heard a lot of people outside making a fuss over their injure, and I stepped out back to see how badly injured our A/C machine was! On the positive side, it was not injured, but on the downside side, the air handling machine for our central Heating and A/C plan was entirely gone, however the a/c had been plucked off of the cement slab to which it had been bolted, and taken away to Oz, I guess! I walked up and down the street, talking to folks and finding out how poor their injure was, and but I kept our eye out for our a/c, I never found it. What happened to the A/C unit, I will never know.

I could stay in the apartment no longer

Ever since the COVID is locked down I have been doing my best to stay inside to prevent the spread.

  • However after being inside with almost no outside exposure for many weeks I simply could not take it any longer.

I had noticed a deterioration in my air quality plus being inside my apartment with its stagnant air was almost impossible now. It was making me miserable plus I decided to take the risk of going outside if it meant that I could breathe some fresh air. I figured it would be okay as long as I made sure I wasn’t around any other people, I could stay many feet apart although I decided to create a bigger boundary than that. Instead I walked outside my apartment plus went to a small area where there were no people; From there I enjoyed getting a huge breath of fresh air. It was so odd from being inside, normally my a/c plan does an excellent job of keeping my air quality in good shape however as of recently even my cooling system wasn’t doing it for me. Nothing had changed plus my a/c was just laboring perfectly fine, however after being inside for so long even the cooling system became not enough. I stayed outside in that small wooded area behind my apartment with no other people around. Even though I was all alone it was one of the best things that I did for myself… By the time I returned apartment I was ready to cool off. It has been a hot however great afternoon plus I was looking forward to returning to my appealing I went into my bedroom plus laid on my bed. My bed is directly underneath the ceiling air vent plus I just stretched out plus relaxed as I felt the cool air from the A/C plan cool me down. It had been a good afternoon.

I was imagining our children looking back at their childhood, in addition to I wanted when they were adults to be able to look back on fond memories of doing fun things with their parents in addition to not just remembering laboring all through their school days! Don’t get myself and others wrong I understand that schooling is pressing, but I saw no issue in pulling them out of school for a morning to have some fun. My kids go to the school or sometimes there are classes on Saturdays in addition to this was one of those cases. All of us made our way into the stadium where all of us found some seats while I made our way over to the concession rest in addition to obtained us all some food in addition to drinks. All of us had a actually good time. What was better even more so than the game was the heating in addition to a/c. The seats all of us got were perfect. All of us were right next to a commercial Heating and Air Conditioning component in addition to I could think the cool air coming out of the cooling system. This was perfect because it was already a tepid morning out. The air conditioner just gave the added effect that all of us needed. All of us had a good morning already however the A/C being at the right locale at the right time just gave everything the perfect touch.

I found something in our basement

I just wanted to be perfect to use this summer time when the weather gets hot

Every few years I care about to do a substantial scrub up of the house, my condo has a tendency to accumulate a lot of stuff, plus every time I go plus do a thorough cleaning I end up finding things that had long been missing plus this year was no different. I decided to do some Springtime cleaning of sorts, then except it wasn’t Springtime it was particularly in the fall I wanted to have the condo nice plus ready for when guests would be coming over for the holidays, so I decided to first tackle the garage in the basement. I had a million unusual items stacked up in the garage plus I had no system where to even start so I just chose the side plus started sorting through things 1 at a time. I made a few unusual piles. A pile I was keeping, I actually was donating, plus a pile that was just trash, then congratulations 1 by 1 I went through everything before I moved on to the basement with the garage having been finished, but when I was in the basement I was sorting through all the items plus I observed something that looked out of site. Something looked care about an a/c. I just had to take a closer look plus sure enough it was exactly as I thought it was a small portable ductless mini split air conditioner unit. I was completely amazed. I completely forgot that I had even had this. Now that I think about it, you better think I had plans to use it, I could always use a backup in case our central air conditioner unit stops toiling. I added it to our other Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C items that I had in the house. My resting media air cleaners, our HEPA filter, plus our space heater. I just wanted to be perfect to use this summer time when the weather gets hot. I could use it to cool the condo alongside the central air conditioner unit plus I have to worry about sizzling air but instead prefer the cool air that comes out of the air vents. I became relaxed just thinking about it.

Cranking up the cooling plan in summer time had taken its toll on the system

All the kids were going to be home for summer.

I was so glad since they hadn’t done so in a long time.

I missed having them around, and so did their dad. They were all grown and some even had families, but they were still our babies. I began planning how we were all going to spend a week of summer time with them. They were also bringing the grandkids, so the home was going to be quite full. But, we didn’t mind at all since it was only for a short duration. They all arrived at the same time, and that first night the home was in chaos, but given most people in the house, we had to crank up the cooling system. It was the only way to ensure the space was cool and comfortable for all, and cranking up the cooling plan for quite some time because someone was always complaining they were hot. Eventually, the strain we put on the cooling plan was obvious, and the component ceased working 1 Thursday morning. I was tied up making snacks for babies in the home office when I noticed the home was getting warm. I went to check the cooling plan and found our partner doing the same. The cooling plan had stopped working, and I knew it was because of all the strain we put on it. The people I was with and I had to find a better way to keep the home cool once we got it fixed. The HVAC worker who came to mend the faulty cooling plan suggested getting out the fans to assist with cooling the house. This would lower reliance on the cooling plan alone.

The heat pump was quite costly

Monica was not going to have a charming Wintertide as she’d expected, and one morning after work, she walked into a frigid house.

  • She went to check what the issue was and noticed her heat pump had stopped working.

The previous year, she had a conversation with her mom. Since she was an expert in the HVAC industry, she recommended Monica to update the aging heat pump before next winter. Monica had every intention to do so but thought twice when she saw the price of a new unit. She put it off and said she could push the aging component for 1 more year… During that time, she’d save up enough extra money to comfortably purchase the new oil furnace. That was the plan, and so far, she was doing well in saving for a new heat pump the next year. Her goal was to buy it and have it installed before the next winter. However, the hour Monica walked into the cold house. She knew she was out of time. The only choice was to take out a small loan and add to her savings to purchase the new heat pump. That night she had to use a space gas furnace to stay warm. The following morning, she called her mom and explained the heating component had failed. She wanted her mom to help her get the best deal for a heat pump and come to install it in her home. They both went to the local HVAC vendor to check out the unusual brands at hand… After some evaluation and discussions, they got the right heat pump, paid for it, and went back to Monica’s home to begin the installation process.
