I am dreading winter because of our propane heater

My husband and I live in an older house, and I really do love it.

It has been in my husband’s family for a few generations.

I believe his grandfather was the one who built the house when he and his wife first got married. We have many things in the house that date back to the 1800s which is really cool. His grandfather saved so many things from his father and grandfather. I am a history nerd, so it fascinates me to have all of these antique things. The only thing that I really do not like about living in this old house is having to heat it with propane fireplaces in the wintertime. There is no furnace in the house, so instead of installing one, we chose to put a few propane fireplaces and heaters throughout the house. I thought that it would not be a big deal, but I learned very quickly that I absolutely hate the smell of propane. It is one of the worst smells that I have ever smelled. Sometimes, I walk into my house and just run to the toilet because of how sick the smell of propane makes me. I know that it is going to be a thousand times worse this year because I am pregnant. All smells are more potent now which means the smell of our propane heaters and fireplaces will most likely make me very sick. I told my husband that I may have to leave for the winter. I was joking, but I definitely am concerned about it. My husband said that he is going to do everything that he can to help avoid a propane smell in the house.

Cleaning my house is so much easier when it is air conditioned

I am not sure that anyone really enjoys cleaning their house.

Maybe some crazy people do, but I do not. I wish that I had the money to hire someone to clean the house for me, but that is just not in the budget right now. My husband loves it when the house is clean, so he helps me clean whenever he can, but he works a full time job that requires a lot of physical labor, so I hate to ask him to help me when he gets home from work. I only work part time right now, so I have a lot more time and energy to get the house clean than he does. I have found out that the best way to motivate me to clean is to turn the air conditioner on. I know it may sound silly, but if the air conditioner is on and the house is cold, I don’t like to sit still. I usually end up cleaning the house without even realizing it. I love being able to motivate myself by just turning on the air conditioner. I do not know what I will do in the wintertime though. I guess I can just open the windows in the house to let in some cold air, or maybe, I could just turn the heat down. Turning the heat down is probably a better option because my husband might be upset if I open the windows while the heat is on. Air conditioning is a blessing in more ways than one I guess. Not only does it cool the house, but it also motivates me to clean my house.

My son likes his room to be freezing cold

My husband, Vincnet, and I have been married for over thirty years now, and we have four beautiful children.

Only one of our children is still in the house.

Our youngest, Byran, is a mommas boy. I am not looking forward to when he has to leave in a few months. I don’t know what I will do with myself. Byran is such a crazy kid. He has always been our adventurous child. I really do wonder what he will decide to do for a career because whatever he does, he will be great at it. My husband is excited for Byran to leave the house because he says that we will save a ton of money on electricity. He is only joking of course, but we will save money I am sure. Byran has to have an air conditioner on in order to sleep. He even uses an air conditioner in the middle of the winter. He says that he cannot sleep unless is room is at least below sixty degrees. I cannot imagine sleeping in such a cold room. He definitely does not get that from me or his father. I still say that I would pay all the money needed in electric bills if Byran would just stay home for another year or two. He does not seem to like that idea. He is super excited to go to college and start building a life for himself. I hope that he has a wonderful time, but I sure will miss him. I have thought about leaving the air conditioner on in his room when he leaves just because it will remind me of my crazy boy. My husband does not think that is a good idea, so we will see.

I dropped my number one heating system down the stairs

I am so clumsy periodically, plus I tend to split things, then my mom says that I have been clumsy ever since I was just a little girl.

  • I thought that I would grow out of it, but I legitimately haven’t.

I am still the clumsiest person that I know. I dropped my number one heating system down the stairs the other afternoon, plus I am so upset about it. I have to use a space heating system in my entryway because it gets quite chilly in there during the cooler months. I even use it during the summertime periodically because my parents like to keep the house super chilly. I have a couple of space heaters, but my number one one is the one that I happened to drop down the stairs. I was so upset with myself. I didn’t even think to wrap the heater’s cord up before I decided to carry it downstairs. I ended up stepping on the cord as I was carrying the heating system down the stairs, plus I tripped plus fell down the stairs, then not only did I fall down the stairs, but my heating system fell down as well. Thankfully, I was not hurt. I only fell down about four stairs, but my heating system fell down to the landing at the bottom of the stairs. I knew as soon as I looked at it that it genuinely was not ever going to work again. The heating system had various large dents in it. I was too afraid to even try turning it back on because it was leaking oil. I have to use one of my other boilers now, but none of them work plus the heating system that I dropped down the stairs.

I bought a brand up-to-date air conditioning at a second-hand store

I appreciate shopping at second-hand stores. I have found some pretty nice things over the years. I just appreciate finding brand up-to-date things at second-hand stores. I have to admit that it is not that often that I find brand up-to-date items that are still in the box, however when I do, I get super excited. It truly motivates me to shop even more often at second-hand stores. My mom never took me shopping for used things when I was younger, so I really never went into a second-hand store until I was an adult. I was amazed at the gems that you can find. I found a brand up-to-date air conditioning still in the box at one of my local thrift stores the other morning. I was so excited. I had been wanting an air conditioning for over two years, however I refused to spend money full price for one. I just lived without air conditioning in my apartment for those years, and I was fine. I actually longed for air conditioning some afternoons, however it wasn’t that bad. Even though it was great without air conditioning, it is genuinely a blessing to finally have it. I appreciate having a nice cool house. I live in a tiny apartment so that one air conditioning that I found at the second-hand store cools my entire house. I appreciate having air conditioning, and I truly feel like I can be more thankful now since I didn’t have it for so long. Air conditioning may not be necessary, however it sure is nice to have. I am so delighted that I found a brand up-to-date air conditioning in the second-hand store.

My spouse found a nice fireplace at a garage sale

He didn’t want to spend money a few hundred dollars for a fireplace, so we didn’t end up getting a up-to-date one.

I have never enjoyed decorating. It just simply isn’t my thing. There have been several times when I wished that I enjoyed decorating because I would have liked to decorate my apartments back when I was single. I am so thankful that I married a guy with an artistic eye. He just enjoys to decorate, and he is truly honestly great at it. My associate and I bought a apartment together a few years ago, and he decorated the entire thing by himself. It looks fantastic… Even though I don’t like to decorate, I know when a apartment is decorated well. My spouse was not content with the apartment for the longest time though. He said that there was something missing. He said the home office needed something else in it, then after a few months of thinking about it, he decided that the home office needed a fireplace. My associate and I looked at multiple fireplaces, and I really thought that they weren’t honestly extravagant, however my spouse did not agree. He didn’t want to spend money a few hundred dollars for a fireplace, so we didn’t end up getting a up-to-date one. He was out garage-saling one morning when he came across an electric fireplace. He asked the owners how much they were selling it for, and they basically told him that he could have it. He ended up giving them a little bit of currency, however it was significantly less than what the fireplace was worth. My associate and I now have a beautiful fireplace in our home office, and my spouse is content with the house.

I found an seasoned A/C in a junk pile, as well as it still works

It is amazing what you can find in other people’s trash sometimes, then i don’t make a habit of going through other people’s trash piles, but I saw a trash pile the other afternoon that intrigued me.

  • It was a actually giant pile of house furniture as well as such items.

I asked my hubby to pull over when I saw the pile, and she thought that I was joking at first, however she soon realized that I wasn’t. I originally wanted to look through the pile because of the couch that I saw, then the couch ended up being quite used, as well as I didn’t get it. I did get an A/C, but. It is literally the oldest looking A/C that I have ever seen. I thought for sure that it wouldn’t work, but something told me to just go ahead as well as try it; When I first tried to turn the A/C on, nothing happened. Then, I realized that I didn’t have it jammed in. I felt like an idiot. I jammed in the seasoned A/C as well as tried turning it on once again. That time, it turned on. I was literally in shock. I looked up the A/C on the internet, as well as it turns out that it is one of the oldest models for that certain brand. I have been using the A/C for a few afternoons, as well as it absolutely cools down my downstairs area quite nicely. I am just waiting to see how much it is going to bring up my electric bill. If it costs too much to run, I may sell it as well as see if I can make some money off of it.

My favorite time of year is when air conditioners go on sale

She is not the kind of man who cares about to be warm.

I may have a slight obsession with air conditioners, i am known as the air conditioner man both in my family plus in my church. It is sort of cool if you ask me. I honestly enjoy to find great deals on anything however especially on air conditioners. I have been known to find the best deals on air conditioners. I buy them for people who need them. I have legitimately bought over twenty air conditioners in the past two years for people in my church plus for some of my family members, then this year, I am buying an air conditioner for my daughter, however he has been needing one for a few months now, although I was not able to find any superb deals until now. I have found that at particular times of the year, particular stores have sales on air conditioners, plus that is when I buy them! My kid is picky, plus he wants a particular type of air conditioner which makes finding one on sale legitimately difficult, although I was able to find one after hours of researching. I hope that he cares about it. I am going to provide it to his for his birthday next week. I am sure that he will be super happy about it since summer time is almost here, plus he does not want to go another summer time separate from air conditioner I am sure. She is not the kind of man who cares about to be warm. I can’t wait until someone else needs an air conditioner. I just enjoy searching for them. It is so nice to help people even if it may be in a odd way like finding them an air conditioner for a cheap price.

My favorite time of year is when a/cs go on sale

I have entirely bought over twenty a/cs in the past two years for people in my church and for some of my family members… This year, I am buying an a/c for my daughter, however she has been needing one for a few months now, but I was not able to find any fine deals until now. I have found that at particular times of the year, particular stores have sales on a/cs, and that is when I buy them, however my daughter is picky, and she wants a particular type of a/c which makes finding one on sale legitimately difficult, but I was able to find one after hours of researching. I hope that she cares about it. I am going to provide it to her for her birthday next week.

It is so nice to help people even if it may be in a unusual way like finding them an a/c for a cheap price.
