My husband never told me he had placed an order for an air purification system. We talked about the dust in the air and how our daughter’s asthma seemed to get worse. After he went to work the next morning, I got on the phone to the HVAC company. I was going to have them […]

When the HVAC technician told me about the air purification system, the only thing I could think of was that it was a new air filter. He wanted me to install a HEPA air filter instead of the regular air filter I had been using. I told him that wasn’t what I wanted and asked […]

I was doing some early spring cleaning to make room for the gifts I had bought for Christmas. I had all my old clothes out for charity and was putting them in a pile when I noticed a dark spot in the back of my closet. I wasn’t sure what it was, but my mind […]

My brother and I are both ex-engineers from S.V. in Cali, you know, the place where all of the big tech companies began in the late 80’s and early 90’s. They were paying me the big bucks back then to build circuit boards for pagers, but after doing it for seven years I felt that […]

I have some really good songs that we have made up in our band, but we need more lyrics in the songs, so I am going to start working on them over the next few months. I want to write about my job as a heating and cooling contractor and where my life has taken […]

I will write one more article and then I am going to rest my eyes for a bit. I have some other work to do online today, which is going to take me about 45 minutes to do, and then I will come back and attack the last six articles here and be done for […]

When I bought my tiny home, I was told that it arrived in ready to move into condition. I had picked out the furniture that I wanted, and had all the space saving features that were available. When my tiny home was delivered, it looked just like I thought it was going to, and it […]

It took me some time before I had the HVAC system installed in my tiny home, but it was worth it. I loved my new home. I had it set up in a community where everyone had tiny homes. We had a shared water system, sewage system, and lights. We each paid our individual light […]

My mother asked me if I thought HVAC technicians got discounts on HVAC systems and repairs? I didn’t know if they did, but I assumed they would at least get their services and installations done for free. Two days later, she came home from work and had a pile of paperwork that she handed to […]

My husband is a school administrator, and their favorite saying is: Do you want it, or do you need it? Every time I wanted something for the house, he would ask me that question, and I hated it. When the pandemic started, and the schools closed, I told him I thought we should have a […]

The entire time we were growing up, my father was trying to convince my brother that he was going to be an HVAC technician when we grew up. I knew dad wanted one of his kids to take over the HVAC company when he retired, but my brother didn’t want to be an HVAC technician. […]
