My car has vinyl lettering for the company

When my husband said he wanted to start a plumbing business, I told him that I would do everything I could to be helpful and supportive.

I didn’t know that would mean riding around with a toilet on the back of my car.

When my husband recently had his work truck vinyl wrapped, the company agreed to do vinyl letters on my car for free. The custom detailed job looks amazing. It almost looks like the numbers and letters are part of my paint job. The letters are flawlessly placed on the car and the job looks very professional. I was hoping that numbers and letters would be the only thing on my car, but my husband decided to pay a little bit extra to have the company logo on the back of the car too. The company logo is a toilet. I promised my husband that I would do everything I could to be helpful and supportive and he reminded me of this promise when I objected to driving my car with a toilet on the back. He told me that it would double our advertising but for free. I surely couldn’t say no after he presented me with the logistics. I get a lot of heads turning when I show up in the car line to pick up the kids from school, but I also get a reasonable amount of people that ask me questions about the company. My husband was right when he suggested putting our company information on my car too. It really has increased our advertising and we have plenty of people that contact the company because they saw my car and not the work truck.

Roof Replacement or Repair

A roofing contractor will likely tell you whether you need a roof repair or roof replacement when they evaluate your project and provide you with an estimate.

  • They may consider the age of the roof, existing roof leaks, the extent of the roof damage, and the geographical location when making a decision.

In the case of mild or moderate physical damage to your roof, partial re-roofing or repairs may be an option. Wind damage may have removed several shingles from one area of your roof, or perhaps the damage is more moderate but only affects one side. A roof repair or partial reroof project is likely to cost less than a total roof replacement in both cases. It might make more sense to get an entirely new roof if the damage to your home’s roof is extensive and/or involves critical structural components. Investing in a complete roof replacement may help you avoid further damage and costlier repairs. Getting a new roof helps to protect your home and your own peace of mind, and you’ll be able to choose a shingle style and color of your choice rather than simply trying to match existing materials. Perhaps you are wondering if you can afford a new roof, even though you have set aside the money to do so. Only a reputable roofing contractor can provide you with an accurate estimate of your roofing project’s cost. Costs can vary greatly when it comes to roofing projects, whether it involves a repair or complete roof replacement. A online roof calculator can help you estimate costs based on the size of the roof, the type of roofing materials, and other factors. Fortunately, roof financing options make it easy to get the roof you need without emptying your wallet. Look for loans with low monthly payments, no prepayment penalty, and deferred payments. Ask your independent roofing contractor about finance solutions when requesting your estimate.

When Your Water Takes Too Long to Get Hot

You don’t want to wait around for hot water when you need it in your home.

  • There are some things you can do if your shower warms up too slowly or your hot water is slow throughout your home.

The farther your hot water heater is from a faucet or shower where you want hot water to flow, the longer it will take. Low volume restrictors may be installed on fixtures, such as your shower, which can delay water delivery. About ten-year-old water heaters are nearing or have reached the end of their service life. In some cases, they can fail suddenly, or they can simply be less efficient at heating water. Sediment accumulates in your water heater when dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, settle on the bottom of the tank, precisely where the electric heating element or gas burner is located. With a crusty layer of sediment blocking heat transfer, the tank can’t produce hot water as quickly as it used to. Perhaps you installed a water heater several years ago when only two people lived in your home. If your family has grown since then, you could be demanding more from your water heater than it’s designed to handle. The solution to your problem might be to upgrade to a larger unit. There is a specific recovery time for all storage water heaters. Upon depletion, this is the amount of time it takes for the tank to deliver hot water again. In addition to the size of the tank, the first hour rating, the type of fuel, and the degree of temperature rise, the recovery time can vary. It can take an 80 gallon gas water heater about an hour to recover, for example.

I was glad I got timely HVAC maintenance

Two days before the HVAC maintenance date, I phoned the HVAC corporation to book their services.

Last winter, my mom and sisters came to have Christmas with me in the city. I had just moved into a bigger house and had enough room to accommodate them. Ever since I was young, I have wanted to move to the city, set up a business, and become successful. This was easier said than done, but I had made it after many years of hard work. I was living in an amazing part of the city in a beautiful home and helping my family in every way possible. Once winter was over, I had to work during spring, but I made sure not to forget the HVAC maintenance. When I bought the house, I had an HVAC professional come to inspect the HVAC system in the house. This was important to ensure the HVAC system was in good working condition. The previous homeowner had explained he installed a new HVAC system, but it doesn’t hurt to check if everything is okay. As the HVAC professional did the inspection, we talked about how to ensure the unit was running efficiently. His number one rule is always to ensure I keep HVAC maintenance appointments. Since I have a busy life, I included it on my calendar and set a reminder. Two days before the HVAC maintenance date, I phoned the HVAC corporation to book their services. I was glad I got timely HVAC maintenance because we had one of the hottest summers. Many homeowners in my area had to contact the HVAC corporation for assistance when their AC units failed. Even my next-door neighbor was affected, and I lent her a portable cooling unit.

The HEPA filter improves indoor air quality

Last summer, I was at home relaxing after taking off work for a month.

It had been a long time since I last took a break, and this was starting to show.

I felt weak and tired, so after talking with my boss, I took time off to rejuvenate. I have the best boss in the world, and she even suggested adding another month if I wasn’t better by the end of the first one. While at home, a friend called and said she was leaving the country for some time. Since we live in the same area, she wondered if I’d mind helping take care of her place. She has some house plants that would die if they don’t get the proper care. My friend was lucky because I was on leave, so I started going over there to water her plants and ensure her home was good. One afternoon, I went to the house and noticed an issue with the indoor air quality. My friend had left her AC working so her plants wouldn’t die from too much heat and humidity. But, it seemed the air conditioner wasn’t doing a good job removing the dirt from the air. I phoned her about this, and she explained she’d missed her summer AC maintenance appointment. Since the same AC business serves us, I offered to phone them and have an AC expert come and inspect the air conditioning. The following morning I was at her house at 10 am, which was the time I scheduled for the AC maintenance appointment. The AC expert showed up right on time and began his inspection of the cooling unit. He explained the air filter was dirty and needed a replacement. Since there was an issue with the indoor air quality, the best thing was to install a HEPA filter.

We got a window AC unit for the garage

When we bought our house, it was in dire need of an upgrade.

We opted to stay in an apartment in the area as we renovated the space. The house’s bones were good, but everything else had to go. My husband is a contractor, so he knows everything necessary to make such a house livable. I help with project management and also simple jobs. We did most of the work ourselves and only hired experts when necessary. The heating and cooling are key parts of the house that we had to hire an expert. As good as my husband is with constructing a house, he knows it’s important to have an electrician take care of the electrical work. Also, a plumber should handle the piping and an HVAC expert on the cooling and heating systems. The house had an excellent duct system. But, cleaning and sealing are required to ensure proper healing and cooling in our new home. In addition, the HVAC expert would also advise us on the best systems to purchase and install. We opted to use a modern heat pump since we live in a mild climate. As we worked on the house, we realized we needed a garage. Since there wasn’t one available, my husband opted to build one, which didn’t take long. After the construction work was complete, we wanted to know different options for cooling and heating the space. Eventually, after consulting the HVAC expert, we bought a window AC unit for the new garage. This was important because I always liked doing different projects in the extra garage space. So, it’s important to have the window AC unit set up to cool the space during summer.
