I am far, far from fancy. In fact, I still wear hoodies and shirts that I loved more than a decade ago. No, I’m not hip, trendy or in any way fancy. So, it’s sort of hard to believe that I have a garage with air conditioning. I can hardly believe it myself. Garages with […]

When it became clear that I wasn’t going to get my husband to leave here after he retired, I was disappointed. I really had wanted to trade the gas furnace for a heat pump. Trading all this HVAC heating for all that HVAC cooling sounded just ideal to me. But, my husband just couldn’t make […]

We couldn’t be more pleased with the way this has all turned out Where we live, there is a great deal of HVAC cooling going on. That’s just the nature of the beast around these parts. Our weather is pretty much outstanding for 8 months out of the year. But from June thru September, it’s […]

Given that our winters are mild, I was confident that we could get through this past one without a problem. My wife and I signed up for the HVAC service plan when we moved here and bought this house. It made the most sense really given how busy we both are. Neither of us really […]

I tend to be a bit like a kid at Christmas when there are new additions to our house. It’s funny, my wife and kids tend to get me stuff that I can add to the house or my man cave. I just derive so much pleasure from having such a wonderful family home. It’s […]

My sister won a radio contest last month whenever she called in to answer some questions about one of her favorite bands. She was really surprised whenever she got through because the phone lines at the radio station were always busy. She ended up knowing every single answer to the questions that the DJ asked […]

Since my husband is such a well known guy around town, he’s constantly getting things at a good price from people that know him and like him. It’s funny whenever we go out for dinner or to the movies because it never fails that two or three people from the community stop and talk to […]
