A bit exposed in the powder room now

I recently renovated my master powder room.

The space was so brown, dull plus dingy… I had to change everything in there to brighten the place up, but rather than a tile surround shower, I upgraded it with a glass shower.

The beige laminate flooring is now a yellow penny tile. I painted the walls white, detachd a closet plus changed the way the door swings. The last thing to open up the space was to expand the powder room window. I couldn’t understand why the homeowner had such a small window in there. I made the window longer plus wider, and now there is so much more light plus the view is great; My space does look a lot greater. I did realize why the tiny window though. Now I can’t sit anywhere in the powder room without being exposed by the window. Having a glass shower suddenly doesn’t think so smart. My partner is trying to convince myself and others to get a decorative window film put on. He wants to do a rainwater or fogged glass look. I easily do not want to lose my view. I spent all that money to get a greater view, I don’t want to lose it completely. I think a window tint might be a better solution, but from the outside I could black out the window so you can’t see in. Inside the window I would still have the view though. Now I just need to find a residential window tinting company near me. I need the right kind of tint to match the rest of my exterior.

Portable restrooms saved our birthday party.

Our birthday was coming abruptly and I was getting excited for our party. My child was cabin and she and her wife were helping myself and others cook. The two of us had a lot of food in both bedrooms and the freezers were full. The two of us were all getting weary when I suddenly realized the people I was with and I were going to have a large problem. There were fifty people set to arrive in less than a week, and the people I was with and I only had a single bathroom, but i had forgotten to call the rental supplier and see if I could purchase some portable restrooms. My child offered myself and others a cup of pop and told myself and others to have a sit; She picked up her cellphone and scrolled through all the rental companies they had in our area. She found a single rental supplier that still had portable restrooms for the weekend, however they only had two. I wanted at least 3. She asked if they knew of anyone else who rented portable restrooms. The woman she was talking to said they had 3 portable showers they would rent to us for the same price as the portable restrooms. My child said she would take all many units! When I asked him what she had just rented, she told myself and others about the portable restrooms and portable showers. She knew many people would be staying over, and the portable showers would give us extra showers and bathrooms for the guests. I offered my child a hug and thanked him for her help. She said it was nothing, but I knew it was something. I would have realized the people I was with and I didn’t have portable restrooms, however given up when they said they only had two..

Very high priced

I have a few portable air purification systems in my home and they both take hepa air filters.

When the hepa air filters were used up I went to buy new ones and I was quite shocked at high priced that they were! They cost almost half the cost of the actual portable air purification systems.

If I had known this when I bought the air purifiers I probably would have went with another brand that did not have hepa air filters. With these 2 portable air purification systems that i have no other air filter but the hepa brand air filters will actually fit with them. They are custom for this particular portable air purification system. What a way to make continuous money! I bet hepa has some kind of deal with the maker of the portable air purification system. I decided that I have no choice but to have to go and buy these very high priced hepa air filters for the portable air purification systems. I think I am going to look into buying a different brand of portable air purification system that will allow me to buy cheaper air filters when they run out. This business with the hepa air filters being the only air filters that will work inside it actually to me sounds like a money making scheme. Like I said, I wish I would have known this before hand and I would have went a different direction. If I keep buying these overpriced hepa air filters for the portable air purification systems, in time I could probably just invest in a whole home air purification system!

Changing the cat box

If you want better air quality in your home and you have a cat or multiple cats, you always will want to change the litter box when it gets full.

By not changing the litter box not only will your cats crap all over your home, but it will always make the air quality very bad and almost dangerous after a while! I used to be lazy in changing the litter box for my cats. But after I got tired of feeling sick from that ammonia type smell killing the air quality in my home, I decided it was time I step things up and make the extra effort to always clean the litter box every other day even if it isn’t full. It is better to take that extra precaution than to be sorry later and have serious air quality issues. Just because I have cats and in addition to the litter box other things can cause bad air quality, I went out and invested in a whole home air purification system for my home. The whole home air purification system really makes things better all around as long as I remember to clean that litter box every few days or so. That makes it so that all the whole home air purification system has to contend with is the pet hairs and such. This makes it much easier for the whole home air purification system to do its job and do it very well! I would not want to have it any other way than this for sure.

Once a month is a must

When it comes to changing the air filter of your central heating and air conditioning system, you should always do it at least once a month.

That is what I was told by my local heat and a/c specialist.

I really did not know anything about this until I was told. However, before hand I would always change the air filter of my central heating and air conditioning system once every three months. While it was ok, I noticed a huge difference in the air quality within my home when I started changing the air filter of my central heating and air conditioning system once a month. It seems that when I change my air filter once a month it feels so much better in terms of my allergies. I do not even have to turn on my portable air purification system in the bedroom as often once I started changing the air filter of my central heating and air conditioning system once a month. This is why I am telling you all this. I would like everyone to know that by changing the air filter of your central heating and air conditioning system once a month you can highly improve the air quality in your home. I hope that this information about air filters and your heating and air conditioning system can be helpful as it has been to me when it comes to changing the air filter! You always can learn something new about your central heating and air conditioning system when you look for more information about it.

Air quality hazard

We had a really bad air quality issue here last week. I had never seen this before. The air quality was listed as hazardous! I have dealt with bad air quality, but never on this level. It made sense why I was having so many issues breathing and coughing a lot. It was a real good thing that I also own 2 portable air purification systems. Because those 2 portable air purification systems really helped me get through this. I had one in the bedroom and one in the living room area of my home. Believe me, it made the difference during this 2 or 3 days of hazardous air quality! The reason the air quality was this bad was because of the monsoon we had been dealing with. It kicked up a huge dust storm and that completely damaged the air quality in the area. I have to admit that I was used to this, but not this bad. I wish I actually had a whole home air purification system. While the portable air purification systems I have did a pretty good job at keeping things at bay, it wasn’t exactly the complete cure for this hazardous air quality that was going on in my local area. I am just glad that it is over for now and I hope I do not have to deal with anything like this again until next year as the soonest! It was really a bad thing all together for me. But I thank my portable air purification systems for helping things along just a little bit.

 

New heating units

You can save money on winter heating costs with a supplemental wood stove

I learned a lot of valuable lessons from my parents, both good and bad.

For one thing, they taught me the value of hard work.

My dad had me outside helping him haul firewood for a few hours before I was sent inside to help my mother clean and cook dinner for the entire family. My siblings and I were all told that we would be expected to help out with all chores, regardless of our genders. There was no such thing as “woman’s work” or “man’s work” in my parents’ household. And I’m glad for that. I cook my own meals, clean my house, and take out the garbage when necessary. I also mow my lawn and chop my own wood. Since I live in a rural neighborhood, I had a plot of land with several acres on it and plenty of woodlands to extract firewood from over the years. It’s nice utilizing trees that have already fallen and have died because you’re not killing healthy trees just to get your fuel for indoor heat. Our region gets really cold in the winter season so it’s important to have lots of heat on hand. With just the central gas furnace, I would spend too much money every year on heating if I didn’t always have my wood stove which provides supplemental heat to the entire house. I have special fans that push the heat from the wood stove around the interior to make it nice and toasty inside. It’s a lot easier to survive the winter onslaught with a good wood stove for supplemental heat.

I worked in a small concert hall for a few years with barely functional HVAC

I can’t imagine what the humidity was like inside

When I moved back home with my mom to help take care of her full time, I had a remote job that paid me good money. Shortly after moving, I had to take a big pay cut from that job to retain my employment status and that meant looking for work locally. And since my employment contract has a non-compete clause in it, that meant I had to find work in a different industry entirely. That’s what led me to searching Craigslist for job openings in areas as diverse as food service, hospitality, and retail. I was relieved when I saw a job opening at a nearby concert hall just minutes away from my mother’s residence. They were looking for someone to help load and unload music equipment for the bands playing. One night I got to see Marty Stuart and another night we set up gear for Eddie Money. They weren’t the biggest concerts, but they were packed and full of energy. Unfortunately the venue rarely used air conditioning. It was only on during concerts and it was relegated to the front of the hall, all of the areas backstage would be warm and uncomfortable. There was a kitchen in the back as well and it would get miserably hot during the shows. Needless to say, the lack of indoor climate control led to nasty odors in that venue when it was left shut with no ventilation for several days at a time. I can’t imagine what the humidity was like inside. It had to have been over 70% on several occasions, especially considering this was in a region with extremely high outdoor humidity levels.

I don’t want to waste money at another fitness center with intermittent heat

I know I’m not the only one who gained weight during the pandemic, but I might be one of the few people in my friend group that hasn’t managed to lose a lot of that weight in the last 12 months.

  • Now that gyms, fitness centers, and amusement parks are open again in my state, people are flocking to activities that work their bodies while burning calories in the process.

I would love to get back on my rollerblades again, but that’s going to require getting into shape again first. I tried putting on my rollerblades a few times last year but I nearly fell from a lack of significant leg strength. When that happened, I realized that I was the only thing standing in my way and stopping me from getting healthy finally. That’s why I inevitably got a gym membership. I just wish I had researched various gyms in the area before settling on the final one that I eventually selected. This was in November and I should have asked about the heating system well before signing up for a subscription. They had the worst heating system and I didn’t like the idea of exercising in warm clothing because of how constricted it makes one feel. Their heating systems would turn on and off at weird intervals it seemed. I decided that was enough. I started looking for a new fitness center that isn’t further than 15 minutes away from my house. Thankfully the new gym has an extremely warm heating system inside that stays on throughout the day.

You should call an HVAC tech for a ductless mini split installation if you can’t wire it

These air conditioners have to be wired directly to your home’s electrical box; it’s not like you can simply plug one of these HVAC systems directly into a wall electrical outlet

It’s easy nowadays to get overly confident with potential DIY projects. While internet videos can be a wealth of information to learn any number of various fix-it or repair jobs that are within a novice’s capabilities, those same videos can give too much reassurance over more complex jobs and projects. Anything that involves creating new wiring in your home needs to be approached with care and delicacy, otherwise you’ll generate a serious fire hazard in the process. My college roommate bought a house right after college with money he inherited from his dying grandparents. I was shocked when he showed me one day all of these light fixtures he had added haphazardly to his kitchen. I asked him if he had electrical experience and laughed while pointing to his laptop sitting on his dining room table. One day while he was prepping food for dinner, his kitchen light fixtures started sparking and one caught on fire. To my old roommate’s credit, he had a fire extinguisher in his kitchen and was able to put out the fire immediately. But he didn’t learn his lesson and tried wiring a brand new ductless mini split HVAC system the following month. These air conditioners have to be wired directly to your home’s electrical box; it’s not like you can simply plug one of these HVAC systems directly into a wall electrical outlet. If you want to safely install a brand new ductless mini split heating and cooling system, you should consult with an HVAC technician and potentially have them do the work in the end.
