Last week, I noticed that one of the zones in my home had no heat coming from the vents. I fiddled with the thermostat but couldn’t get it to work. Since it’s the middle of December and there was a blizzard on the way, I decided it best to call for repairs right away. I […]
My family lives an extremely hectic lifestyle. My husband and I both work full-time jobs with a great deal of responsibilities. We have three sons who are all involved in hockey with practices throughout the week, games over the weekends and skill camps during the summers. We spend a lot of time in the car, […]
After owning my own home and handling all the regular tasks, repairs and responsibilities over nearly thirty years, I’ve learned the importance of maintenance. I’ve figured out that thoroughly cleaning, greasing and oiling the lawn mower before putting it away for the winter helps to prevent repairs and frustration in the spring. Draining the hot […]
In my local area, the summers are hot with excessive humidity. When the winter weather arrives, it brings temperatures well below zero with brutal wind chill.

I bought a diesel truck when I got my settlement money. I knew that I needed a big truck to pull my RV and I got a great deal on an older diesel. I didn’t really know anything about diesel trucks when I bought this one, but I’m quickly learning a lot. The temperatures have […]
In order to accommodate more customers, the company where I work is changing their hours for the winter season. I work for a company that installs and repairs heating equipment. The busiest time of the year for us is during the winter season. We have repairs, tune-ups, and replacement appointments scheduled every day of the […]
Every time it snows, or it gets cold, our ramp ices up. My husband has tried the snow blower, the leaf blower, and even the heat gun, to keep the ramp cleaned off. Since I had my car accident, I have had many surgeries and I have a hard time getting up and down stairs. […]
My sister is one of those people who feel that a woman should always have smooth skin that is free of wrinkles. She came to visit me about four months ago, and she had her nose in the air the entire time she was in my home. She complained how bad my air quality was […]
