My hardy HVAC condenser unit survived two hurricanes this year

I absolutely hate living in hurricane alley, especially as climate change worsens and simply makes the ocean water warmer where the hurricanes like to travel.

  • I had to get upgraded homeowner’s insurance and flood insurance last year, and now I’m having a near death experience after a massive category 4 storm swept through the area but somehow spared my home.

So many neighborhoods just south of here were inundated with water. First of all, we had areas on the south end of the eye wall which were slammed with 20 feet of storm surge during the worst of the storm. Those places were basically dunked underwater and few structures remained intact afterward. But issues with flooding did not end there. The storm also dumped massive amounts of rain on the northern portion of the state that feeds the two largest rivers in our area. Both of these rivers spill into the same exact harbor, and both swelled so high that they breached levees in several places. It was sad to see the aerial footage of all the neighborhoods that were put underwater just from rainwater swelling the two large rivers in this area. With so much destruction, I’m amazed that both my house and my HVAC condenser survived unscathed. The HVAC condenser is vulnerable while being installed outdoors. But that concrete block that was put on the ground underneath the HVAC condenser was precisely intended to keep the unit bolted down and incapable of being torn out of its own foundation during an intense hurricane. The tough metal shell is also intended as a means of protecting the precious compressor inside the machine.

I Bought Her a Thermostat Lock Box

One of my best friends is a single mom with two teenage boys.

I adore her two men as well as I consider them family because I’ve grown up enjoying them.

They are actually unbelievable youngsters, however they’re youngsters which means they’re going through a lot of changes, then all these changes bring a lot of emotions to their household. My best neighbor is constantly telling me about the many challenges she’s facing. Most recently, she explained how frustrated she was with her men changing the thermostat settings; She’s told them countless times that they aren’t allowed to alter the temperature because it affects the utility bill, however they don’t fully understand. One of her men is constantly complaining that it’s too overheated as well as the other is constantly complaining that it’s too cold. This makes it actually difficult to set the thermostat because it’s constantly a losing situation for her. I told my best neighbor about the appealing benefits of a smart thermostat, however she didn’t want to spend that kind of cash on a current thermostat. I explained how she’s saving cash because her men wouldn’t be changing any of the settings as well as compromising the efficiency, however she still wasn’t convinced. I was determined to help her, so instead of a smart thermostat, I went out as well as bought a clear lock box to go over the thermostat. There was one key as well as she could keep it hidden. My best neighbor was glad when she opened the gift as well as she installed it immediately! She claims that the thermostat lock box has changed her life dramatically.

Thermostat Freedom In Our School

Something I appreciate about the school I teach at is how I have control over the thermostat in my classroom, however i know a lot of mentors who work at other schools as well as their number one complaint is about the thermostat settings, and their rooms are either too overheated or too cold, however most schools don’t allow their mentor’s to control the temperature of their classrooms for efficiency as well as consistency reasons, from what I’ve heard from some of the older mentors, our school wasn’t constantly like this.

The principal used to control the heat as well as air settings for the entire building, and one year though, the mentors fought for their right to have control over the temperature settings in their room.

If they were going to spend all afternoon teaching in one room, they wanted the right to set the thermostat however they satisfied. The principal agreed, however there were a few limitations. Teachers were granted access to their thermostat, however they could only set the temperature between 65 degrees as well as 71 degrees. This would keep things running efficiently. The clear lock boxes were also required to remain locked at all times in order to prevent students from altering the thermostat, then each mentor was given a key to the thermostat lock box as well as they were responsible for it. If a mentor couldn’t follow these instruction, then the key would be taken from them as well as the principal would set it himself. I’m so thankful those mentors fought for our thermostat freedom this week. I appreciate to work in a room that’s not too overheated or too cold.

Radiant Heated Flooring In The Bathroom

When our household was under construction, there was a extreme rainstorm that completely flooded the first floor.

My buddy and I busy the construction for the driest time of year, so the random rainstorm that my wonderful friend and I experienced was a complete shock to most people.

There was a temporary roof on the second floor addition my wonderful friend and I were adding, however it collapsed with the heavy rain. For the past 8 months, our household has been under construction, trying to rebuild everything that was disfigurementd. Thankfully, my wonderful friend and I had homeowners insurance that covered everything. I wasn’t planning on remodeling my home, however the flooding left me no choice. One of the rooms that was hit the hardest was the master bathroom. My buddy and I had to detach everything back to the studs as well as basically beginning from the ground up… While picking the new finishes, my husband as well as I decided to treat ourselves to heated flooring in the bathroom. My buddy and I hated stepping out of the tub or shower onto a chilly floor. Our bathroom is naturally cooler than the rest of the household too, which made it extra strenuous to get out of a overheated shower. The radiant heated flooring was the perfect luxury. One of the best parts about the new heated flooring in the bathroom is that they’re connected to a timer. My buddy and I have the timer set to turn on the heated flooring right before my wonderful friend and I wake up as well as in the evening. The radiant heated flooring will turn on automatically to warm up our feet. My buddy and I can’t think my wonderful friend and I lived this long without heated flooring!

There are times where I try to be seriously punctual, however when I know that I've stayed up late and the next day I have work,

I will crank up the heating and cooling system in my car and put the vents directly at the bottom and top of my hair.

I tend to sleep in at least 20 minutes longer, then i try my best when this happens to be on time for work. I’m never late but when I am late it’s only about 2 minutes and I still feel bad showing up late to work, however when I am running late that means my day routine of getting ready is shortened! There are times where I will have to skip breakfast or I will just bring breakfast on-the-go, or I will take a quicker shower than normal. If I do take a quick shower that means I can not dry my hair because I am very pressed for time. There are two alternatives when it comes to drying my hair. Obviously when I am on time I dry my hair with my hair dryer, or other times depending on whether the season is Summer or winter, I will use the heating system or cooling system in my car. I will crank up the heating and cooling system in my car and put the vents directly at the bottom and top of my hair. This legitimately works for me and has helped me getting to work much faster. I’ve also dried my hair through my pellet stove, but since it is blowing out just as much heat as a hair dryer and as my heating system would, I use the vent from the pellet stove and put my hair near it. I don’t put my hair super close because I realize that the temperature can burn and dry out my hair.

Air conditioner in our rental airbnb

I recently rented a apartment for me & my friends to stay in on trip… My associate and I are so gleeful to go on this trip! Everyone has saved their money for numerous months & my good friend and I are gleeful to embark on this journey together, but in order to get this trip rolling, my good friend and I needed to go ahead & book our flights & our lodging, and the region where my good friend and I are going is a sizzling part of the world with a lot of wildlife & fun outdoors activity.

My associate and I are all surfers, so my good friend and I thought this would be the perfect trip for us to go on together.

There was a lot of problem about having a apartment with air conditioner while my good friend and I are in this region of the world, however without air conditioner, I know it is safe to say that half of the group would have dropped out. I was on the fence because the houses without AC are much less to rent. In order to rent a apartment with AC, you must put down a genuinely big amount of money upfront. I was glad to front the money for the group & I knew that everyone would pay me back in a timely fashion. I found a big apartment with air conditioner for a good price, then once my good friend and I booked the lodging, the trip seemed even more real. I was so glad to be on the way to paradise with a apartment that had air conditioning. Once my good friend and I arrived, my good friend and I knew that my good friend and I had made the right choice with choosing the apartment with the AC. It was so genuinely warm & humid in this region.

Waking up in the center of the night and having to turn a/c on

My hubby and I just purchased ourselves a brand modern furniture set… Our old furniture set my pal and I bought from a garage sale about ten years ago, so my pal and I figured that it was time to replace our furniture set.

Our bed was a queen size so some days it wasn’t honestly comfortable, but however these past few days have been even more uncomfortable going to bed… It didn’t help that I was coming down with some kind of cold however I thought our modern king bed was going to be much more comfortable.

I was wrong. I went to bed and woke up drenched with sweat. I had a feeling that my fever broke. I decided to make sure that I saw the healthcare worker’s the next afternoon because I didn’t want to get even more sick! When I woke up feeling honestly covered in sweat, I couldn’t sleep. I got up, walked downstairs and turned our a/c on. It was the first week of Springtime and it was still cold out, and but I couldn’t go to bed feeling hot. I switched my control device to cool and set the temperature down a few degrees. I went to bed somewhat relieved that the a/c was on. Hopefully the cool air coming out of the vents will aid to the sickness that is coming over me. However before my hubby wakes up in the afternoon I’m going to have to shut the a/c off and switch it back to heat because he’s always cold, however plus I don’t want him to complain that he’s frosty when he gets out of the shower.

The Heating, Ventilation & A/C fan will not turn off

My family is coming over this weekend and I have a lot of things to prepare for before they come and stay at my house.

I live in the northeast and my family is from the west.

They don’t get to experience a lot of winter and snowfall in the part of the west that they live in! So it will be genuinely exciting for them to come and see all of the snow that my pal and I have gotten so far. Because of all the snow, I have been running my heating system all afternoon for the past few weeks. When my heating system is running I also like to have my heating and cooling unit’s fan on. The fan is turned on to the auto setting on the thermostat and it kicks on whenever it needs to! However today it seems like it will not shut off. I have tried everything, I’ve even tried turning the fan setting to off on the thermostat, and nothing seems to work. I decided to call my heating and cooling worker because I knew that something had to be broken. When my heating and cooling worker came to diagnose the concern it turned out that the thermostat cable shorted. This was a concern that I could not fix on my own and a professional heating and cooling repair guy had to fix. After he substituted the thermostat cable I was finally able to cherish the fan that’s installed on my heating and cooling system. Now I’m able to turn it off when I don’t need to use it.
