Heating our sunroom

My husband and I recently moved into a new home.

I absolutely love our new house.

The house itself is not actually new, but it is new to us. We loved our previous little cottage style home, but once we found out that I was pregnant, we knew that we needed to move somewhere with a little more space. Our new home has four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It is so nice to have more space and to be able to actually have a room for our baby once she gets older. My husband just remodeled the kitchen, and it looks gorgeous. It is everything that I have ever wanted in a kitchen and so much more. Besides my newly remodeled kitchen, my favorite room in the entire house is the sunroom. It is a room filled with windows and sun. I just cannot get enough of that room. The only downside to the sunroom is that it is not heated. The last couple weeks it has been too cold to sit out there unless you are dressed in all of your winter geer. My husband knows that I love the sunroom, so he told me that he would find a way to heat the sunroom. He is so sweet, and I am so glad that he found a relatively inexpensive heater to put in the room. It is a propane heater, so the smell is a little rough, but I can certainly deal with the smell if I am able to sit in the sunroom during the winter months. The one propane heater keeps the room nice and warm, and I have been enjoying soaking up the sun once again.

My heater lit on fire

My family and I love to go camping.

When we were younger, we went tent camping and really enjoyed it.

Now that we are older, we do not enjoy tent camping quite as much. It is just much harder on us since our bodies are so much older. I can hardly get off of our air mattress when we sleep in our tent. It is just too much work for us now, so we rarely go. We love camping though, so we decided to buy a cabin out in the middle of nowhere. It is actually about ten miles back into the woods behind our house. It is beautiful, and we love staying there for a relaxing get away. There is no heat in the cabin, so we have to bring little space heaters or propane heaters with us in order to stay warm enough during the night. I brought one of my larger space heaters from home last time we went camping, and something quite scary and surprising happened. I was lying on the couch watching the sun go down when I smelled something burning. I looked behind me to find that my space heater was on fire. I was so scared that I screamed for my husband, and he came running to the rescue. Thankfully, he was able to put the fire out in no time, and nothing was significantly damaged. There is a small spot on the floor under where the heater was sitting that is burnt. I am so glad that I was able to catch the fire quickly, and that my husband was able to put it out easily. I do not think I will be bringing old space heaters on our camping trips anymore.

I need an new AC line in my car

I am one of those people that is sentimental about almost everything. It is quite pathetic honestly. I wish that I was not so attached to things. I have tried to train myself not to be attached to things that really do not matter. My husband has helped me with this more than anyone. He knows how to help me. My parents used to just ridicule me because of my sentimental ways, and although they did not mean to hurt me, they certainly did. My husband on the other hand is really sweet with the way that he deals with me. He knows that I need him to be gentle and slow to anger with me. One of the things that I am really attached to is my car. I have had it for about fifteen years, and I cannot imagine driving anything else. My air conditioner is not working well anymore, so I told my husband about it, and he tried to use the opportunity to get me to buy a new vehicle, but it did not work. I had my brother check out the car to try and figure out why the air conditioner is not working. He charged it, and it worked very well for about two weeks. Then, it stopped blowing the nice, cold air that it used to. I had my brother look at it again, and he found that an air conditioning line had a leak, and I was losing coolant that way. He offered to replace the line for free if I just bought a new line. Of course, I bought a new line, and now my air conditioning is working great which means that I do not have to buy a new car!

I need to clean my HVAC vents more often

I have learned that I need to clean out my vents much more often

Having children is one of God’s greatest blessings. I love my children so much, but I can say that I was not ready for all that comes along with having children. Before my husband and I had our first little one, I was so infatuated with babies and children, and I dreamed of little ones running around our house and giggling. Although my children do run around the house and giggle at times, my children are so much more work than I ever dreamed they would be. I have honestly said goodbye to every nice thing that I have ever owned because my children seem to have a way of ruining things. I also find food and toys in the most random places. I noticed that the vent in my room was blowing some very foul smelling air the other day. I got closer to the vent to smell it, and I almost lost my breakfast. I smelled the other vents in the house, and they did not smell like the one in my room did. I knew that my children must have thrown something in my vent. Sure enough, I found a rather large chunk of cheese in my vent along with some veggies that my children had for lunch two weeks prior. It stunk so bad that I felt sick for the rest of the afternoon. I have learned that I need to clean out my vents much more often. I love my children, and I would not trade them for the world, but they are quite the handful to take care of.

Heating my house has been quite a challenge this year

My husband and I were blessed with an amazing deal on a brand new home about twenty-seven years ago.

It was perfect for us at that stage in our lives.

We had four children and three pets, so the large, five bedroom house was perfect for our family. Now, all of our children have moved out, and we only have two dogs. The house seems quite large and empty with just the two of us here and our dogs. My husband and I have talked about moving, but our only issue was that the house was the perfect size for when our children come and visit with their families. We love it when our children and grandchildren stay with us. Now, another problem has arisen that is keeping us from putting our house for sale and that is that our furnace is not working properly. We bought the highest quality furnace that we could find when we purchased our house, so we did not expect to have any issues with it though it is twenty-seven years old. It is not that the furnace does not work, but rather it does not always work well. Sometimes, it is cold in the house, and the furnace is not working well, so we have to go and reset it. Once it is reset it will work properly for some time. We have to reset it about twice a week. My husband has been looking into getting the furnace checked out by and HVAC technician, but we know it will be quite pricey, so that will be our last resort. My husband is going to try cleaning the entire furnace to see if that will help. Hopefully, it will eliminate the issue.
