Owning a business comes with some basics. At the end of the day, you have to be willing to go the extra mile when it comes to your business. Of course, I spent years working inside the commercial HVAC of corporate offices honing my skills before I went out on my own. But the plan […]

I hate to even utter the words man cave. But that’s just what I have now and I love it! When I was a kid, my dad had a really cool man cave. This was well before cell phones and custom air conditioning. But his place in the basement was the best. He had a […]

One thing I’ve learned thus far in this life is that plans are nice but life has a way of happening anyway. This is what happened recently for my wife and I. Prior to retirement, we put a lot of effort into planning the next chapter of our life. We were eager to get rid […]

It’s so nice to be able to put another summer in the rearview mirror. It’s smack in the middle of October and I couldn’t be happier. The air conditioning might kick on during the peak heating hours of the day. But that would be it. By the end of August, I was pretty wilted from […]

So maybe, I’m getting the hang of living up here. This past winter was much better than the previous three. But then again, that first winner was so bad I can hardly even remember it. The only thing I have in my mind is lots of time wishing for more heating from the gas furnace. […]

Okay, so the last two years of pandemic has made me more than aware of any sort of change when it comes to my health. Just like everybody else in the country, I hid inside the air conditioning of my home to avoid coming down with that virus. I have some genetic health issues that […]

Selling our home has been anything but a hassle free enterprise that’s for sure. I’m just hoping that it will all be worth all the effort, emotions and energy. For my wife and I to give up the place where we raised our kids was rough. And it took us a long time discussing it […]

When all of us kids finally got out of their hair, my parents wasted no time getting on with their lives. It didn’t take my parents long toupgrade the HVAC equipment and sell that house. The made sense to me. They’d raised all of us and made us the center of their lives for such […]

There is no doubt that it was great having all that money saved up For sure, I didn’t hide my excitement very well at all. As soon as the HVAC technician told me that our heat pump was at the end, I produced an ear to ear smile. Finally it was true, I could update […]

It worked a long time and risked a lot to have some success. And maybe I sold out early but I sure do like being done with that level of work. I could quit doing anything but that would be boring. Too many years of getting up to head out to the zone controlled HVAC […]

It’s not really just a home gym. The space in my basement where my wife and I workout, do yoga and relax is a bit more than a home gym. Still, it’s in the basement right? Well, we’re not all wealthy and fabulous. But you can sure do the best you can. We even had […]

It’s been sort of weird for me this week because I’m so excited about getting our new residential HVAC. This is a problem because I’m out of town. While I’m sure that my wife will be more than good with managing the installation of the new heating and cooling equipment, I feel as though I […]
