The pipe repair was beyond me

I live in an upstairs apartment.

I like doing home repairs and learning a thing or two.

When something goes wrong in my place, I don’t call the landlord, I do it myself. Well I started redoing the flooring in my bathroom. It was squishy, out of date, and I got the okay to replace it. Well I got too overzealous in my sewing and cutting. I ended up going through the flooring and hitting a pipe. I cracked the pipe and water shot everywhere. I of course had no kind of tape or way to stop it. I had to run around like an idiot while water went everywhere. After I secured it I realized I needed to mop up my floors. Then I got that done and the guy below me started shouting about water coming out of his ceiling. Guess I didn’t get that pipe repaired very well. I ended up calling an emergency plumber to fix what I did. I didn’t want my landlord to know I almost wrecked the plumbing in his bathroom. The plumber was really good about the pipe repair. The pipe was easily accessible due to my work. He just replaced a portion and I was good to go. It was a small bill and not a lot of work. The issue was the clean up to my place and then I cleaned the downstairs apartment since that felt fair. I don’t consider myself a DIY plumber anymore. I stay away from pipes, drainage, and water. I leave that to the experts.

Love having a handy person in my life

Looking back on my life, I am confident when I say that I’ve made a lot of mistakes.

It’s okay though, I’m not very upset with myself about the decisions that I made.

At the time, I did the best I could with the information that I had in the resources that were available to me. This is how I feel about the college degree that I earned, the car that I bought fresh out of school, and my first husband. Certainly, I’ve made some bad choices. Nowadays, I like to think that I know more about the world and make much better decisions as an adult. At least, I know who I should and shouldn’t be jumping into bed with. If he is dirty, brags about sleeping on couches, and forgets to shower… I probably need to pass them up. These days, I’m much more interested in responsible and handy men. I understand the importance of having someone around who can diagnose and repair of failing heating and cooling system in the middle of the night. I understand how valuable it is for a spouse to be personally responsible and take care of the dirty air filter in the forced air furnace without being nagged. I find myself falling head over heels for men who know their way around an air duct and have previously repaired and outdoor air conditioning condenser. I know that these shouldn’t be the biggest deciding factors for the choices that I make in my life, but realizing the importance of indoor heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment has definitely led me to a new dating pool of superior specimens.

Considering my options for Modern Heating

For as long as I can remember I’ve had this unfortunate tendency to feel like I’m always in a rush.

  • I don’t know how to do things slowly or how to move through life at a steady pace.

Instead, I’m continuously running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to solve everything at once. As soon as an email pops into my inbox, I have to read it. The moment I decided to make a big purchase, I have to pull the trigger. Right when someone asks me for a favor, I have to get it done for them. Oftentimes, this comes back to bite me in the ass because I miss important details. That’s why, I was especially careful when making this recent heating and cooling upgrade at my house. I didn’t want to rush any piece of the heating, cooling, and ventilation upgrade. I decided to give myself two weeks to do research before I could make a decision on a brand new heating system. In that time, my research revealed a lot of interesting things. For instance, I had no idea that there were so many sources of alternative heat. In my lifetime, I’ve only utilized forced air furnaces. Apparently, things have changed a lot and it’s incredibly common for people to now install radiant heated floors and stud. These are great for efficiently delivering heat exactly where you wanted. You can easily set up zone controlled heating with less controllable heat delivery method. Overall, it’s supposed to be cleaner and more energy efficient. I’m glad that I did this research instead of winding up with a basic furnace.

Making sure the cabin has a fireplace

A few years ago I made a massive mistake when I agreed to rent a cabin with some friends without looking at it myself first.

I completely trusted them with the selection of our rental space, and that came back to bite me in the butt as soon as we arrived.

Pulling into the driveway, this was clearly not the mountain cabin getaway that I had imagined. It was nothing like the other rustic, old fashioned log cabins that I had usually rented. In fact, it was just a regular house with a regular old kitchen and a regular forced air furnace. There was nothing scenic or woodsy about it – especially not the brand new smart thermostats and upgraded heating system. When I go out camping or renting a cabin, I want to utilize fire for my heat. It doesn’t feel right to turn a dial and expect warm, flowing air to pass through the air vents. I want to work for my comfort and that includes my indoor air temperature. After that terrible trip to the cabin, I will never let somebody select our rental space again. Every time we propose a trip out into the woods, I’m the one who selects the Airbnb. There’s not a chance in hell that we stay somewhere with a regular thermostat and no working fireplace. If necessary, I will even contact the owner ahead of time to ask about the stove and fireplace situation. If they can’t guarantee that we have working fire, I can’t in good conscience book of the property.

I’m not one of those people who likes to burn bridges.

I like to maintain relationships in my life if at all possible.

Even if people have not been very good to me, I can generally see the value in keeping somebody around or at least on good terms. Everyone has something to offer, whether it’s a dazzling personality, a shoulder to cry on, or a fat bank account for unexpected loans. This mentality extends to my work relationships as well. I would never want to leave an employer with a bad impression or call my entire work experience with them into question. That’s why, as much as I wanted to destroy my last company when I left, I decided that it was best to play these subtle hand. Instead of ruining them out right, I would find ways to subtly drive them up the wall. Starting, at the thermostat on the wall. You see, when I worked there I was in charge of the heating and cooling system upgrade that we’ve performed. I arranged all of the HVAC appointments and did all of the research before selecting a heating and cooling system that would serve us well. Everyone was pleased with the HVAC system and I was happy about the smart thermostat that came along with the complete Heating and Cooling plan. Since I installed the smart thermostat, I also set up the passcodes and linked it to my phone. When I left the company, I didn’t lock myself out of the thermostat. Nowadays, when I’m feeling better, I pull out my phone and dial the temperature up or down a few degrees. It makes me feel good to know that they are feeling at least a little uncomfortable.

Air vent was blocked, room was so cold

A few weeks ago my son offered to come over and help me to rearrange some things in my office and the garage.

I was really grateful for him giving up some of his time, because he’s extremely busy as it is.

There was no way I could manage these tests on my own so he really was doing me a big favor. We were moving boxes between the two storage spaces and trying to rearrange the furniture in my home office so that I could actually utilize it. It seemed to be going along well, until I got a phone call from my boss and needed to step out for a while. When I got back, the entire office was set up. My son had completed the job. I thanked him profusely and he went on his way. Ever since then, I started noticing that the office was extremely cold compared to the rest of the house. As the outdoor air temperature declined throughout the season, so did the indoor air temperature in this one single room. At first, I thought that there must be a draft coming in from the window. I checked the insulation and caulking many times, and couldn’t find any underlying problems. I even climbed up into the attic and made sure that the insulation in the ceiling hadn’t been rearranged by animals over the summer. Everything seemed fine as far as I could tell, and I forfeited myself to working in this chilly space. It wasn’t until the next time my son came over that I found out what the problem was. As we talked about my new office set-up, he innocently said “how’s the air quality been? I had to put your desk directly in front of the air vent.”

Missing my automatic start

Every morning when I wake up I’m filled with an immediate sense of dread when I consider having to go to work that day.

  • I start imagining all of the stressful problems that are going to emerge and all of the nasty ways my co-workers will treat each other.

I basically have a panic attack before I even get out of bed in the morning. These days, I really don’t need anything making my mornings more difficult or uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the climate isn’t cooperating with that idea. We’re currently entering the winter season and the outdoor air temperature is light years ahead of my mentality. I would be more than happy to continue several more months of moderate fall weather, rather than encounter this chilly and breezy air every day on my way outside. In fact, I’ve even started dreading the moment that I walk out to my door. I know that I will be greeted with a blast of ice cold air and have to run into my vehicle for protection. Once I get there, unfortunately, the air temperature won’t be any better and it might actually feel colder inside. I have no choice but to power on the heat and ignore the blast of cold air that fills my car instead. I’ve actually started wearing my full winter snow suit already, just to avoid this unpleasant heating problem when I climb into the vehicle. As if I needed another thing to worry about, yesterday my neighbor saw me and sarcastically called over “you’re ready for winter, huh?!” No, I’m not.

Glad I'll be out of town next week

Things have been extremely stressful and obnoxious at my work lately.

Everyone has been in a bad mood, everything has been breaking, and our cash flow has been extremely limited.

Because of all the squabbling, it’s been difficult to report to my work place on a regular basis. I would much rather hide from these people then to see them every single day. That’s why, I decided to take some time off can give myself a break before the busy holiday season started. Let me tell you, I’m extremely happy to be out of town next week. Not only have things been stressful at work, but they’ve been particularly cold. For the past several weeks our central heating system has not been functioning properly. It started on a random Friday, so everyone pushed the heating problem out of their minds for the weekend. Unfortunately, when we returned on Monday, the functionality of the commercial furnace was not improved. In fact, I believe that the heating source got even worse while we were gone. It was clear that the indoor air temperature was unstable and we were experiencing uneven hot and cold temperatures all day long. When I would put my hand near the air vent, It generally felt like air conditioning was coming out, rather than heat. If people could get over their troubles and cooperated, instead of bickering, we could have easily called a heating and cooling specialist to fix the problem. Instead, nobody wanted to discuss the issue you and we’ve pretended the heat didn’t matter. By the time we finally got our act together and called out a professional Heating and Cooling technician, the furnace needed to be completely replaced.
