The dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air

My wife and I had a major leak in the kitchen.

We didn’t realize water was leaking under the sink until the water started to come out from underneath the door.

We rarely go into the area below the sink. We keep old cups and dishes down there that we don’t use anymore. It’s honestly more like an extra trash can then storage. When we noticed water coming out of the door, I shut off the sink so we could identify the problem. Unfortunately for us, the problem was already pretty severe. The leaking water was actually in the wall behind the pipes. The wall was wet and the floor was saturated too. We contacted a plumbing company to help with the repair. They brought us a dehumidifier to get rid of the moisture in the air and in the wall. The portable dehumidifier was small enough to fit underneath the sink. The guy put a tube from the dehumidifier into the sink so the moisture could drain back into the sink instead of onto the floor. When the dehumidifier was placed under the sink, the moisture levels were around 75%. After we let the dehumidifier run for 3 days in a row, the moisture levels were closer to 40%. Running the dehumidifier kept us from getting mold and mildew in the house. After that plumbing problem, my wife and I are more careful about looking under the sink once or twice a week. We weren’t being vigilant last time, but we won’t make that same mistake again in the future.

The HVAC technician looks good in his 60’s

I think it’s important to have a good diet that is filled with healthy fruits and vegetables and vitamin rich foods.

I do my best to eat well.

I have a salad for lunch every single day and I eat lean proteins like salmon, trout and chicken and good fats like avocado or coconut for dinner. A lot of people my age aren’t in very good health and I want to make sure that I can stay healthy for as long as I want. There is a guy that works in the HVAC profession and he looks very fit. The guy has been to my home on several occasions to help with heating and AC repairs. The guy looks fit and trim and he is in really good shape. The guy has got to be 70 years old. The man might even be the owner of the company for all I know. What I do know is that the HVAC technician is always fit and looking good. I hope that I can look that good when I get to his age. If the key to good health is eating right and exercising daily, then I am definitely headed in the right direction. I eat good foods and I exercise as well. I belong to a gym and I go there frequently to work out and exercise. I can run about 5 miles on the treadmill without stopping for a break and that is on the second highest speed for the treadmill. My cardiovascular fitness is off the chain.

I try to make my job as interesting as I can

I absolutely like to make every type of job fun and exciting if it can be.

Shopping and running errands always seems like a drag, but I do what I can to make the event fun.

I try to play little games with myself that make shopping much more interesting. The grocery store is located a few miles away from my house. I go to the grocery store on Tuesdays and on fridays. On Tuesdays, I get home from work early so it is the perfect day to go to the store. I have the weekends off, so I also go to the store on Friday so I can stock up and prepare for the weekend. When I go to the store, I time myself to see how long it takes. I count the items and give myself one minute to find each item. My regular everyday job is usually boring too. I work in the heating and AC repair profession. I regularly help customers with heat pump, furnace, air conditioner, and duct work problems. The days can be boring and monotonous from one week to the next, so I try to find ways to make work more fun too. When I have a repair, sometimes I time myself to see how long it will take. Then the next time I have the same type of repair, I can try to beat that time. I have a long list of repairs and the times that they take to complete. Some people think I’m weird, but I just like to have fun.

I had someone remove all of the old tint first

Most of the neighborhoods in this area were built by large construction companies and architects.

The houses all look the same really.

Most of them are basic and boring with very little character. There are rows and rows of the exact same house with a different color scheme or a different layout indoors. Each one of the houses has a small backyard and a fence. All of the houses in the neighborhood where my wife and I live also have tint on the windows. It seems like the home builder thought that sun control window film was a good idea. It is a good idea to protect all of the carpet, furnishing, and surfaces in your home from the sun and the harmful UV rays. Honestly, you don’t see a lot of houses that have the sun control window film installed. One of the reasons why we bought the house in the first place was due to all of the upgrades and that includes the sun control window film. Of course, there were some repairs that needed to be made, because the previous owners did not take care of the window film. There were some places where the old tint needed to be removed. I contacted a professional residential window film maintenance service and they came out to the house and perfectly matched the color of the tint. They replaced all of the panels that didn’t look good and you can’t tell that the tint wasn’t done at the same time. The new tint and the old tint match perfectly.

I had someone remove all of the old tint first

Most of the villages in this area were built by sizable construction companies & architects! The houses all look the same really.

Most of them are basic & boring with certainly little character.

There are rows & rows of the exact same condo with a different color rue or a different layout indoors, and each a single of the houses has a small backyard & a fence; All of the houses in the city where my partner & I live also have tint on the windows! It seems appreciate the lake house builder thought that sunshine control window film was a wonderful idea. It is a wonderful method to protect all of the carpet, furnishing, & surfaces in your lake house from the sunshine & the harmful UV rays, honestly, you don’t see a lot of houses that have the sunshine control window film installed! One of the reasons why all of us obtained the condo in the first place was due to all of the upgrades & that includes the sunshine control window film.

I nearly forgot about it

I can be pretty forgetful sometimes. Like the other day I had a heating and cooling tune up and check up appointment with my local HVAC company coming at 3pm to do it. I totally forgot about it till the last minute! It was a good thing I was home and not out working or out running errands. Because if I had been, it would have been horrible to have the heating and air conditioning specialist from the local heating and air conditioning company show up and me not be there. I would have got hit with a trip charge and then I would have had to reschedule the heating and air conditioning tune up and check up with the local heating and cooling company. I need to get myself a digital reminder or something for my cell phone. That way I can have it alert me to all the things that I have to do that I may forget. I will not have to worry about any further heating and air conditioning appointments in the near future because I only get my central heating and cooling unit tuned up and checked up twice a year. And the next time I will need a heating and air conditioning system tune up and check up will be 6 months from now. By that time I should have something that reminds me of things like this so I will not even have the chance to miss an important heating and air conditioning appointment like this again. It was just a good thing I came close but didn’t actually miss it this time around!

Air filters can make a difference

If you did not already know this, air filters that you use in your central heating and air conditioning system can make a difference in the air quality in your home.

If you have good quality air filters in your central heating and air conditioning system you can have better air quality.

But when you have cheap air filters that dill up real easy and you forget to change them, this is the beginning of having allergens and bad air quality pumping through the air vents with the heating or the air conditioning. This is why it is recommended that you buy only the most high quality air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system unit. A good suggestion is to buy HEPA brand air filters. Because HEPA brand air filters are the top of the market and of the most high quality when it comes to air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system. HEPA air filters are a little more pricey than even the best regular brand air filters, but they are well worth it if you ask me. HEPA air filters even come in washable air filters. With washable air filters this means you can use the same air filter over and over several times by simply washing it. This is possibly the best way to save money when buying air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system. That is what I do and believe me it works really great! Once you try HEPA washable air filters you will never go back to the old air filters you used.

I should look more often

I really should check the sales that my local hardware store has more often.

I recently missed a sale on HEPA air filters and I could not believe it! This was something that does not happen often.

Having a sale on HEPA air filters is not something to be missed. HEPA air filters are pretty expensive as it is, so when and if you find them on sale it is like the deal of a lifetime. If I had checked the sales at my local hardware store I could have taken advantage of this great sale. I am hoping that maybe they hardware store will have another sale on HEPA air filters sometime in the next coming months. I will for sure be keeping an eye out to see if the HEPA air filters go on sale again. I won’t miss out the next time. As it is, I do buy the HEPA air filters at their normal price because I found that HEPA air filters are the only air filters that go well in my central heating and air conditioning system unit. HEPA air filters only have to be changed every few months and also HEPA air filters make for great air quality in my home. The high cost is well worth it and actually in the long term saves me money on buying air filters because I do not have to buy them as often. But I am seriously kicking myself that I missed this really great sale on the HEPA air filters at my local hardware store! Live and learn as they say and I will be paying more attention in future.

I felt bad for them

I recently read a story on the internet about this candy store that had its entire stock of chocolate being destroyed because of their central heating and air conditioning system breaking down in the middle of the night when no one was there.

It was really hot this summer and without air conditioning it is no wonder something like this had happened.

The candy store had to close for over a week while they got their central heating and air conditioning system repaired and then ordered a whole ton of chocolate to replace what was destroyed. If I was that business owner I would be pretty angry losing all that stock and money. But these are the risks that you always take when owning a business of any kind. If they were on top of it, they would have had a portable air conditioning system running when the store is closed. If they had done that, they would not have had the disaster that happened. That is how I would handle things if I owned that candy shop and we were having a very hot summer. I would not want to take any risks and just take safety precautions. But that’s just me. Still, I do feel really bad that this happened to them all because of a heating and air conditioning system break down. I certainly hope that they are able to get back up and running to the point where they can make back the money they lost on the chocolate.

Every bit counts

I am someone who likes to save money whenever and wherever I can, no matter how much.

Even if it is very little.

Because every single bit counts. The one thing that I save a little money on when it comes to energy use is because I use a portable space heater in the winter to heat my living room instead of using the central heating and air conditioning system. It does not save a whole ton of money, but it saves me a little bit. Enough that at the end of the year I have saved at least one hundred dollars. This is very little but to me any savings is good savings. That is the way I like it. I had thought about buying a portable air conditioning system and doing the same exact thing in the hot summer time months of the year, however with that a portable air conditioning system cost a lot more than a portable space heater. So if I was to do that I am not sure how much I would save but it probably would not be enough to cover the cost of the portable air conditioning system itself within the year, which is why I have not done it. And I probably won’t even do it ever unless I can find a portable air conditioning system on sale for half off the regular price. Then it would be worth it. But unless that is found I will just stick with the portable space heater.
