There are some DIY projects that I wish I had listened to my gut before hand plus didn’t attempt on my own.
Even with the best video tutorials, you can’t always think that you’ll be able to replicate a professional’s actions without the proper training.
When I made shelves recently, I should have l earned about how to make them sturdy enough to bear a load greater than more than four pounds on top of the weight of the shelves. It was a reading experience for sure, as I found out quickly how much disaster can result from a simple miscalculation. When I got better with wood, I started using Youtube tutorials to make a TV stand, a work bench for my garage, plus a shoe rack for my partner. As I built more items for the house, my skills improved seriously. But as far as I get with woodworking, I still know my limits with everything else. I do not fare well with fire or electricity. I was almost trapped in a burning building at the age of nine plus after that I got shocked by an electric fence a few years later. Both experiences gave me a considerable respect for electricity plus fire combined. When I wanted a wood stove to compliment my gas furnace, I didn’t even attempt to do it on my own. I immediately called a professional from the fireplace plus furnace supplier. Since I live in the north, the two of us have some companies that specialize in oil heating systems completely, while there are other Heating and Air Conditioning corporations that also maintain, service, plus install air conditioners.

The terrible economy and inflation that is happening right now means that I don’t really have any cash at this point to get my Heating, Ventilation and A/C idea repaired, however this is not a good thing, that’s for sure.
- I mean, it’s never really a good thing when you are basically out of cash, however this is different.
It’s still the middle of the Wintertide around here and I just don’t have the cash in my home service account to get anything fixed at all right now. I am not delighted about this in the least. It would be weird if the weather was already heating up outside, however that is not the case. It’s still freezing and the weather is still snowy and icy most of the time. It really won’t legitimately start heating up until the middle of March, and there is just no way that I am going to be able to go without a heating idea for that long! I need to get it fixed, however I am just out of advantage when it comes to the cash situation right now. I think that my best bet is really to just use the little electric space furnace that I have out in the garage for emergencies. I mean, I’m not freezing to death yet, however it’s starting to become somewhat of an emergency. I haven’t been able to use the oil furnace in a couple of afternoons now, and it has entirely not been legitimately comfortable around here, that’s for sure, but maybe if I put the little electrical space furnace in the bedroom overnight, it will knock the chill off the air!

It’s been pretty freezing the last few days & with Winter fast approaching it’s only going to get colder. I’m not a fan of colder temperatures or the Winter however they do help me appreciate the summers that much more. I’m super glad I have an electric furnace & in case things go south I do have a fireplace installed in our condo as well. I could not live separate from any source of a heater; Recently our travels throughout the neighborhood I see quite a few homeless people struggle to stay warm. I believe so empathetic to them, then this a single homeless guy by the name of Carl I see every afternoon & I believe a little about his life story. His life turned upside down when he took on too much in life all at once & lost his complete life. He lost his partner, his kids, his house, his task & his car. He wasn’t rich or anything although he lost so much in the past numerous years that it’s honestly hard for him to get back on his feet. I occasionally help him with food or clothes or whatever when I see him, then usually, I find him depressed crying in a corner not even asking for anything. To be honest he never asks for anything because he is still trying to be a proud man & figure it out. I believe some people need help & if I can help in the slightest I will. There is a Winter storm coming this weekend & no a single could survive it I feel. I found Carl a couple of days before & gave him to stay at our condo so he can prefer the fireplace & a few things to help him get by. I’m here for him.

To be even-handed she never asks for anything because she is still trying to be a proud man and figure it out.

a/c rep
It’s been about a week since I started this 2 week vacation with my family.
It has been amazing with the food, music, the people and I’m just fully relaxed.
Vacations like this make it hard for me to return to my HVAC company and help the small townspeople with their HVAC needs. Nearly a week and my cellphone is still off because I don’t want to be reached out for anything and I know if I turn that cell phone on I’ll have a call about something and there is nothing I could do about it anyways besides try to get off the phone and tell them to call my brother John. Then things went south, and the nice air conditioning system that we have in our hotel room stopped working. I talked to the front desk clerk about it and they said they will have an HVAC technician come by in 2 days. Apparently, the HVAC businesses around here are busier than what I have back at home but they should be staffed better, right? I asked to speak to the manager and stated I am an HVAC technician who runs my own business and showed them my card. I asked if I can just take a quick look at their HVAC system. It didn’t take long at all and I found out that the issue is their air filters were clogged and needed to be cleaned. Lucky for them they have washable filters so I took them out and cleaned them real quick. I showed the manager what the issue was and she was happy and gave us a free dinner for 2 nights. I guess sometimes it pays to have knowledge in this field. Now back to relaxation!
cooling tech
As I sit here working on Mrs.
Jackson’s new electric furnace system that I’m putting in place I can’t help to think I wish my twin brother Mark was here working on this with me.
Doing this job which would take us together would be completed much faster than doing it with no help at all. I need my HVAC technician brother to help get the job done! I know I rely on him too much and he is more technically advanced than I am but I just have to trust I can complete this task with minor issues. Mrs. Jackson has been quiet all morning but I can tell she is anxious for me to complete this job. As I walked into her house this morning she was wrapped in an electric blanket trying to keep warm. I find it a bit funny because it is in the mid 60’s outside and I’m in shorts. I know she likes her thermostat set to 80 degrees which is a bit ridiculous but I’m not here to judge but to make another happy customer. I started to think to myself that it might be time to hire a new HVAC technician to come to people’s houses and assist Mark and I to work on our local communities HVAC systems. It would be nice to add another hand for us. It will definitely be nice to have another person so one of us can go on vacation with little stress but I’m sure Mark isn’t stressed since he shut himself off from the world when he started his vacation. I just think it might be time to bring someone on and I’ll discuss this with my brother when he is done with his vacation.

It feels great to get a good night of sleep.
I find that I sleep better in the wintertime as I get to bed before 10pm and seem to sleep better when I am in bed earlier.
Summer is a different story altogether though, since we end up playing music or volleyball on the beach till around 11pm. The sun doesn’t set till around 10pm or so in the summer, and by the time I get home it is well past 11pm or later and I don’t get to bed till 1am most nights. Even with the air purifier humming away as white noise, because I don’t run my central HVAC system, I can still hear people partying at the bar beside me. I pretty much wake up around 8am no matter what time I fall asleep, so needless to say I don’t sleep as well in the summer. My local contractor buddy plays ball with me and he has trouble waking up to go to the HVAC business at 8am each morning in the summer. I may not play as much ball this summer because my knees are getting worse, but I am sure I’ll still sneak in a bit. My heating and cooling job requires a lot of knee bending when working on ductwork or carrying some heating equipment up a few flights of stairs. So my knees are pretty important in my working life, and I use them when I am playing the djembe in my band. I am going to the local business now to grab a HEPA filter, see ya.

Tomorrow is the last day of February and it is going to start getting warmer soon. The winter began in the middle of October when the temps dropped quickly and that cold rain started, and it has been getting cold ever since. I think though we are finally near the end of it and things will start heating up again. Summer will be here before we know it and I will be out in the sand once again playing my favorite sport, just like I have been for the past 30 or more years. My heating device is going to get a break soon and that means it will be time to clean the HEPA filter for my a/c unit and get it ready for summer. I will contact someone to come out within the next few weeks to take a look at my system and make sure it is all good to go for the hot weather. I haven’t turned on my a/c unit since August of last year and I want to get a cooling tech out here to take a look at it and service it if it needs it so there are no surprises when summer comes. The worst thing is when you turn it on in the middle of June and nothing but warm air blows out. This happened to me before and it took four weeks to get the HVAC worker out because a lot of other people had issues with their a/c systems in their places. This year I will be ahead of the game.
hvac maintenance
I wear earplugs normally so I only usually wake up when there is a really loud noise or something.
I think once I am done with my work I will take a little nap. I woke up really early this morning because I had songs going through my mind that woke me up. Sometimes when I am sleeping I dream about the songs we are playing in our band and come up with some new lyrics for them. This was the same back in the day when I was doing comedy and would come up with funny ideas in the middle of the night. This is probably when the heart speaks the loudest. My heating rep told me the same thing happens with her when she wakes up thinking about an HVAC component issue with a client or something along those lines. I guess a lot of people wake up in the middle of the night sometimes thinking about what they should be or could be doing with their lives. Sometimes my air purifier wakes me up or my dehumidifier starts beeping when the tank is full. I wear earplugs normally so I only usually wake up when there is a really loud noise or something. I’ve been sleeping this way for many years, ever since my ears started ringing about twenty years ago from a virus I had. The local business near me tried to help with the ringing but the only thing that seems to work is a loud air purifier or dehumidifier near my bed. I can hear them through the earplugs and it kind of takes away from the non stop ringing I hear all of the time.
New heating units
I was selling electric heat pumps and furnaces when I was living in the other town and I think I have like 500 people on my list, so this should help a lot for doing it again over here
Tomorrow is my bank day as I have a problem with not receiving texts when I am trying to do my online banking. I think there is something wrong on their end because my phone gets texts. Maybe the bank guy put in the wrong phone number when I changed my number last time I was in there talking to him. I will get a good night of sleep tonight and get in there in the morning and knock it out. Then I have to go to the dentist and get this darn tooth fixed so I can eat. HVAC technology sales is on the agenda also as I try to sell some heating and cooling equipment online for my buddy. I think I will do well selling them because I have a lot of contacts here in this town and the other town where I was living before for a few years. I was selling electric heat pumps and furnaces when I was living in the other town and I think I have like 500 people on my list, so this should help a lot for doing it again over here. I think tonight I will go to sleep really early so I can get up and get to the bank before they open so that I am the first one to be served. I have to pay for this HVAC system that I am getting and I need this bank account to be working so that I can transfer the money to the HVAC company that I’m buying it from.
