Never should have gotten smart thermostat for Grandma

Sometimes you try to help people plus only make the situation worse.

This is absolutely the case when it comes to just about anything having to do with my Grandma.

She wants to live independently plus be on her own, but she is also harshly needy plus incapable of taking care of things by herself. The other afternoon, she was complaining so much about her indoor air quality that I decided it was a wonderful idea to call out a professional heating plus cooling specialist to provide her a hand. Rather than having them install all current heating plus cooling devices, I wanted them to attach up a smart thermostat to her existing air conditioning system plus forced air furnace. I figured this was the best way to determine if she had an actual indoor air temperature control concern or if she was just mis-managing her thermostat settings. I installed the smart thermostat app on my PC plus began to monitor her indoor air quality control device usage. Well, this was a big mistake. My Grandma refuses to learn how to use her smart thermostat that was promptly installed in her house. She says the newfangled device is just too confusing for her to even touch it. This means she is calling me afternoon in plus afternoon out to adjust her indoor air temperature for her, based on her every whim. Whenever my friend and I speak, she traps me in a conversation for at least 30 minutes about her brown neighbors plus government conspiracies. I am growing fatigued with the constant racist PC calls from my Grandma plus I wish that I had never installed this central temperature control component at all.

Called me crazy when I wanted to purify my air

When HEPA air filters were available on the residential Heating as well as Air Conditioning market, people acted like I was completely in the wrong for upgrading my air filters to effectively detach over 99% of unwanted airborne toxins

It’s funny how people who are prepared are often labeled as crazy. Whenever I am enjoying Doomsday Preppers, I understand that the people seemed sort of insane… But maybe they’re absolutely the smartest of us all. At least, this has been my experience when it comes to worrying about indoor air quality plus purification! For the past 20 years or so I’ve been quite anxious about managing my indoor air quality because I realized how many nasty airborne contaminants were flowing through my condo each afternoon. I lived in a metropolitan area plus I would often see all of the dirt plus grime that fell out of our outdoor breathing air. I did not want any of that nasty toxicity coming into my home, so I began investing in high quality air management devices. At the time, people thought that I was a little bit wild for installing an whole-condo air purifier that worked in tandem with my central heating plus cooling system. They thought that it was going overboard when I tried to detach airborne contaminants such as mold, mildew, plus harmful chemicals. When HEPA air filters were available on the residential Heating as well as Air Conditioning market, people acted like I was completely in the wrong for upgrading my air filters to effectively detach over 99% of unwanted airborne toxins. Well, look where my friend and I are now, then people are abruptly scrambling to install whole-condo air purifiers just like the one that I’ve been operating for over 20 years! Suddenly, HEPA air filters are a completely normal way to manage your indoor air quality. I think I was ahead of the times, or I was just so crazy that I created a global pandemic.

Cat was missing for over a month

Just last yearwe were on the verge of adopting a current animal.

My nice friend and I decided it was time to go ahead plus get a current pet in our house because it was feeling rather empty plus distraught for the past several weeks.

My nice friend and I didn’t want the teenagers to be in mourning forever, after my pal and I had clearly lost our family pets, you see, for several years my pal and I have owned the single animal who enjoyed going indoors plus out. My nice friend and I never had a problem with letting his wander around the town for the afternoon, so it was rather shocking on the day that he didn’t return back home. Finally, last yearwe decided that it was time to adopt a current kitten so my pal and I could all move on. That’s right about when my animal reappeared, clearly having emerged from the open air vent behind our dryer. At first, it seems like he materialized out of nowhere until I took a closer look plus realized that the central heating plus cooling system was to blame. Specifically, our extensive air duct was the reason for our missing cat. She had popped out of the laundry room where my pal and I rely on an overhead exhaust fan to detach the steaming air from our space. My nice friend and I blocked up the air duct that went to this room several years ago, because it was a waste of our high-priced treated indoor air. I began investigating the walls plus moved the dryer out of the way at some point. When I moved the clothing appliance out of the way, there was a gaping hole in the wall where our air vent cover should have been. I found chunks of hair stuff to the open ventilation hole plus inside of the air duct; Clearly, our wily animal had been escaping from the ice chilly central cooling system by hiding in the hot air duct created by the dryer. Man, I’m so cheerful that my pal and I didn’t get another cat.

They called us back… plus then sent us away

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling rather exhausted of this back plus forth between the media plus the government during this ongoing viral pandemic. It was pretty clear a few months ago that my pal and I had managed to lower the curve when it came to our country’s COVID-19 contaminations. At the time, I was feeling a little optimistic about all of our sheltering in locale efforts, but I also know that letting people go back into the wild was going to increase the number of cases around the country, and lo plus behold, that is exactly what happened. Now, I feel like I’m being jerked around as I try to figure out what normal life is. Recently, my company tried to call us back into the office because they feel that my pal and I were “all-clear.” At that point, I was entirely a little excited to get out of my highly air conditioned home. I felt like I couldn’t stand another day of hanging out with my air conditioner component plus listening to the air quality control component turn on plus off in the background of my silent house. I was exhausted of feeling ice cold, dry air conditioned air blowing on my body all day long! Most of all, I was exhausted of paying my high annually bills as I operated the central Heating plus Air Conditioning system day in plus day out in a mostly empty house. I entirely thought it was going to be good to rely on my office’s temperature control plus get a chop on my own annually bills. Unluckyly, our return to the office only lasted one week. As COVID cases climbed again, my pal and I were ushered back into our own homes. I’m hanging out with my air conditioner component every day, trying desperately not to chop the bank with these ridiculous annually bills.

Toy was lost 20 years ago

People typically say that you need to cherish every moment you have with your children because in the baffix of an eye they will be young adults. I typically had a difficult time believing this when I was battling my kids through every moment of the day! Let me tell you, with those little turds in my condo it felt like time was never going to pass. I legitimately never thought that they would grow up too abruptly for I would find myself reminiscing about the fantastic old days when they were knee-high little shits. That’s why I was surprised the other day when I abruptly found a toy of my son’s from his childhood plus broke down crying. I could remember the exact moment when he lost this stuffed critter as a five-year-old. Here I was, minding my own supplier plus cleaning out the central heating plus cooling system when abruptly his missing toy presented itself. I was doing my best to clean the central heating plus cooling ductwork in my condo because I had observed a lot of uneven indoor air hot plus cold temperatures in the last week. It seems like my air temperature was fluctuating from overheated to chilly even when I was using the air conditioner component at full blast. I knew that my ductwork had been neglected for multiple years because I have been too occupied with parenthood over indoor air quality; Finally, I had the time plus energy to deal with my heating plus cooling system for the first time in 20 years. Clearly my kid was messing with the ducts without my expertise. Not only does this discovery bring me back, but it’s a reminder of what a mischievous little butthead my kid was.

I was doing my best to clean the central heating as well as cooling ductwork in my house because I had noticed a lot of uneven indoor air rapidly changing temperatures in the last week. It seems like my air temperature was fluctuating from sizzling to freezing even when I was using the air conditioner unit at full blast.

Podcast feedback; your Heating, Ventilation plus A/C sucks

For about four months now I have been running my own podcast. I actually never thought that this would be something that would take off. I really thought that I was just going to make a few episodes before I got frustrated as well as gave up on the whole venture. However, I’ve been severely surprised at the reception of my deranged little radio show. Let me be clear that I have no idea what I am doing as well as I don’t have high-priced device for my podcast. Sporadically I know that people love the grassroots nature of my publication… Until people start complaining about my central heating as well as cooling system, then recently I was checking out the reviews as well as I noticed that there were quite a few which mentioned my indoor air handling devices. Apparently, because I am recording the podcast in the comfort of my house you can hear my air conditioner system clicking on as well as off in the background. Every time the cooling system kicks into gear there is a loud disruption on the recording. As the air conditioner unit continues to pump high-quality treated indoor air through my vents you can actually hear the sound of the air in my ductwork. Worst of all, every so often the AC unit makes an unsettling banging sound due to its age as well as weekly wear as well as tear. I know that I should call a professional heating as well as cooling serviceman to take care of these assorted air quality concerns, however I am not making money from my podcast yet. I savor making my radio show however I am getting tired of people making fun of my indoor air handling devices separate from contributing modern ones.

Son lost house; setting up guest suite

I knew that this was going to be a rough year when I started learning my astrology, every astrologer that I checked into was telling their readers to buckle up for hard times in 2020.

I absolutely feel their predictions about the world as well as changing circumstances in our lives, so I was ready for whatever was coming next.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t prepared for my kid to lose his home as well as wind up staying at mine. The day that my kid told me he needed a place to live I realized I was going to have to change a lot about my living circumstances. Namely, my heating as well as cooling system was going to need a full overhaul. If he was going to come stay in the home with me I was going to need more powerful indoor air quality control devices to handle the extra load! My kid is severely identifiable about his indoor air temperature. He is also severely stinky as well as requires a lot of additional air filtration. Thank God, I came up with a better idea than renovating my entire central heating as well as cooling system. I decided to set up a guest suite for my kid so he could control his own indoor air temperature control settings as well as leave my central Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system alone. I was able to really convert the garage into a second living space, complete with its own indoor air handling controls! All I needed was a mini split ductless heating as well as cooling system to control the indoor air quality in the separate space. Now, my kid is living comfortably in his own indoor air as well as I don’t have to worry about his stinky effects on my living situation.

Playing “telephone” as youngsters

I entirely can’t imagine being a kid these afternoons.

Everything is completely bizarre than it was when I was growing up. I am not just saying this as an old curmudgeon, so much as I am making legitimate observations about the state of the world and new parenting. If you go into public these afternoons you are hard-pressed to find a child who is not staring at some kind of screen. It seems like toddlers have their own cell PCs and laptops to keep them entertained when their parents are too sleepy. I can’t imagine any of this. When I was growing up, my brothers and I had to make our own entertainment. Sometimes it even included the indoor air handling devices because my associate and I were so bored. I remember several afternoons when my associate and I used the central temperature control unit as a pretend rocket control system and got yelled at by my mom for changing all of the indoor air handling control settings. I also remember climbing all over the air conditioner unit outside before my mom would scream at us for denting the cooling systems external shell. The one thing my associate and I could do with the Heating and Air Conditioning system that never resulted in punishment was playing telephone through the air vents. Because my associate and I had a central heating and cooling system, my associate and I utilized extensive air ducts to channel the high quality indoor air throughout the house. These metal channels were perfect for youngsters to scream through from bizarre rooms in the house. My pal and I would often disconnect our air vents and hold the secret conversations through the ductwork. These afternoons, youngsters have actual telephones to play with.
