Keeping my cool working on heating systems

I am almost done with my workday and it is only 1:30pm, which means I get more time to meditate and do yoga.

I also have to go to the fruit stand and get a bunch of apples and other fruits.

It will be an easy night too because I will just do a short workout with my friend and then go watch the sunset on the pier and relax. Tonight I will probably watch some documentary about the sea with my cats and chill out in my little office. I will be comfortable with my heating device keeping us all warm while we snuggle under some blankets beside the air purifier. I like to watch things about nature, and documentaries are cool because I usually learn something from watching them. I sometimes watch infomercials about HVAC equipment and hot water heaters, but that can get kind of boring, so I like to put in a good nature flick sometimes too. Tomorrow is Friday and I need to get to bed early tonight because we will be playing music for a few hours next to the church. The local business near the church is going to pay us to do a show in two more weeks, which is nice because they have a fireplace next to the stage heating the performers while they bear their hearts to the audience. It should be a great show and if it goes well, which it will, they will pay us more and have us do a show there every week. Life is great and getting better.

Having fun working on cooling devices

I went to the bank and got my account fixed and I am so relieved now, as there had been a few months of problems with my account but now it is fixed and all is well again.

I am going to write two more articles and then I am doing my little yoga session followed by an hour of meditation in front of a sand timer.

I put the hourglass in front of me and sit for an hour while I meditate and watch the sand pass through the glass as I empty my mind over and over. Heating pumps through the HVAC system as I quietly learn patience and quiet my mind, which creates a better life in the end as patience is pretty much needed all of the time in life. Patience helps when doing HVAC equipment work when things aren’t going as planned, and it also helps when carrying a heavy heat pump up a bunch of stairs in a building that has no elevator. I have been meditating for about 15 years and I have noticed that I am not only more patient but I am not as angry as I used to be. My cooling tech friend helped me get into meditation while we worked at the HVAC business doing ductwork sales and service for clients in town. Now I do it every day and it is like brushing my teeth with the good habit I got into with meditation and I have my friend to thank. If I didn’t do HVAC equipment work at that local business I may never have started.

Air purifiers and fat cats

I had to put Mr Fatcat on a diet recently because I noticed he is gaining too much weight.

  • I have two cats and the male cat is a hog and eats all of the food, saving very little for his sister who is now too skinny.

So I have put Fatcat on a diet now and he isn’t very happy about it. He is always waiting next to the food bowl and meowing when I walk by. But he needs to lose some weight because he is just getting too plump. The local business where I got the food told me to not feed them too much because some cats like Fatcat will just keep eating all day long. Now he sits on the air purifier and waits for me to walk by the food bowl and feed him, but it isn’t happening like he wants. He has a very cute meow, sounding like a little kitten and not a cat, and it makes me smile when I hear it. The HVAC rep who gave me the cats told me to not feed them too much as we worked on this heating device one day, but I forgot what he said and now I am stuck with a fat cat. I think after a few weeks he will lose most of the blubber and then I can start feeding him a bit more food. I will go to the heating dealership today and grab an a/c and furnace filter for my HVAC system, and then I will feed Fatcat tonight when I’m back.

How to do maintenance on your sizzling water heater

Did you know that you should be performing maintenance on your water heater? I absolutely didn’t know that until a few weeks ago, when my water gas furnace broke down as well as I had to contact a local plumber to service it.

During the conversation, he asked me what the issue was, as well as I explained that I have no sizzling water in my home, however he then proceeded to ask about the last time I checked my sizzling water heater, as well as I told him never.

He asked if I have ever performed any maintenance on the heater, to which I answered no, however i absolutely didn’t know that sizzling water heating systems needed maintenance. It’s 1 of the equipment in my house that I have consistently left alone, as well as I have never had an issue with 1 until now… Well, the plumber was kind enough to explain to me what kind of maintenance the water gas furnace needs, which includes flushing the water gas furnace at least once per year, then this prevents any sediments from building up inside the heater. In addition, he commanded that I check the anode rod as well as the temperature release valve yearly. To be honest, I didn’t know what these were, so I had him teach me how to do it, however lastly, the plumber commanded that I keep the temperature on the gas furnace to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which it was already set on, however anyway, after the plumber fixed the water gas furnace as well as gave me maintenance tips, I promised him that I would get my water gas furnace serviced at least once per year. After all, getting the unit serviced will really extend the life of the water heater.

The two of us wanted new lighting for our garage.

There is a driveway to our beach house that measures nearly a quarter mile. It has multiple turns and trees that hang over the driveway, and when all of us moved in, the previous owners had rope lights suspended on both sides of the driveway. When the wind blew, the lights would sway, and it looked genuinely funky. I was talking to a neighbor, and I admired his lighting. I thought his in-ground lighting was so much nicer. If you went over the light, it would not pull the rest down, since all of us could walk on the outdoor lighting and it would not break, the glancing blow of a tire would not affect it; The only problem I had with the recessed outdoor lighting was that when it snowed, the lights would not be seen. The electrician said he could rig up some heat tapes that would go across the driveway. It would heat the driveway and be multiple feet on either side. This would keep the snow off the driveway and there would be no ice accumulation. This seemed costly, but I wanted safety. I told him I wanted to talk to our significant other and see what he thought, he said he thought it would be nice to have small street lamps love they had in the early 1900s. The electrician could really set them up as solar power. If the batteries died, they could be attached to our generator, and regardless of the weather, the driveway would be lit, and the beach house would have electric. The electrician thought our partner had come up with a great idea. Two weeks later, it looked love they had built our driveway in the early 1900s.

Both of us wanted new lighting for our porch.

There is a driveway to our cabin that measures nearly a quarter mile; It has several turns and trees that hang over the driveway.

The electrician said he could rig up some heat tapes that would go across the driveway. It would heat the driveway and be more than four feet on either side.
