Faux fireplace keeps us warm while camping

I knew that my father had been fixing up an old travel trailer… He pretty much just gutted a decades old trailer & then set it all up inside to make it the way he wanted it.

He has been posting lots of pictures on social media & I kept commenting with how amazing it looked.

However, he hadn’t posted in awhile & I didn’t know that the trailer renovations were complete or that he intended for the two of us to go camping when I visited in September. I thought I might be helping him with the renovations & that would be it, so I was surprised at the camping plans he shared with me as soon as he picked me up from the airport. I unquestionably didn’t want to go camping, yes my associate and I enjoyed it when I was a child but I’m now pushing 40 years old & haven’t been camping in over 20 years. I don’t like being freezing anymore & I don’t like roughing it, however but then I got house & I saw the inside of the renovated trailer. It was completely done & looked so warm & cozy, however dad had installed a faux fireplace along one wall as well. He explained that it runs on electricity & so I wouldn’t have to cut wood. However, the faux fireplace would keep us nice & warm. I still had my reservations however I saw how much he had planned & looked forward to this trip so I acquiesced, however and you know what? I was never freezing or uncomfortable during our entire camping trip. That space heater fireplace thing unquestionably kept the trailer nice & warm & my associate and I had a unbelievable time.

Smell might be coming from HVAC duct

There has been a absolutely terrible smell in my condo lately.

  • It literally smells like a public toilet.

Not just any public toilet either. A public toilet at a ball game or big even like that. The smell is terrible. I have looked all over the condo and can’t find the source of the smell. I have cleaned under the couch, under the refrigerator, and washed all of the linens. Nothing has helped. The smell remains. A fantastic neighbor of mine said that I might want to look into getting my Heating and Air Conditioning system tested. She said that he had a similar experience a year ago and that it turned out to be his HVAC duct system. She had Heating and Air Conditioning servicemans come and scrub out the HVAC duct and repair the whole Heating and Air Conditioning system. She said they even installed a special carbon filter. The smell went away and never came back. Now he has his Heating and Air Conditioning system tested at least once a year. A smelly Heating and Air Conditioning system would explain the smell in my condo I suppose. It would make sense. After all, the smell is terrible in every single room of the house. Now that I suppose of it, the smell is worse when the heater is on too. I suppose I am going to have to hire an Heating and Air Conditioning company to come out and take a look. I hope they don’t charge too much though. However, at this point, I am willing to pay just about anything to get rid of that smell. It is only getting worse and I can’t live like this.

Don’t leave your phone on the gas fireplace

My young niece is crying.

She is exasperated because her trip was ruined.

Well, I don’t see how a broken phone equals a ruined trip but then again I am not a 12 year old. I made the mistake of inviting my brother plus his family up for a week over the holiday. I haven’t seen my brother Dillan in a few years plus I thought my buddy and I would all have fun together. I bought sleds for the youngsters plus turned on the old gas stove. I remember, when Dillan plus I were younger my buddy and I had this wood stove that our parents would light up whenever it snowed. After my buddy and I were done playing in the snow my buddy and I would put our wet boots plus gloves near the fireplace plus they would dry out rapidly. Well, I didn’t want to deal with all of that wood chopping so I got a gas stove for my house. I turned it on for the youngsters to enjoy but they just stared at their phones the whole time. They weren’t interested in sledding at all. Then my niece left her cell phone on the gas stove overnight. Now the phone is completely destroyed… Of course it is. I know they have an electric stove fireplace at home. That thing is all plastic plus doesn’t get moderate on top like a gas stove does. Oh well, these things happen. Maybe now she will have fun playing outside instead of staring at a screen all afternoon; Either that or Dillan will run into neighborhood plus buy her a up-to-date phone. It doesn’t much matter to me.

Time to report noisy furnace

I do not like our HOA.

They are always in everybody’s supplier plus they just appreciate to impose fines for the smallest infractions.

Just Yesterday I got a great for having 1 dandelion week on my grass, however can you believe it? It was only 1 weed! Well anyway, I try to avoid dealing with the HOA as much as possible. However, my neighbor made me finally have to cut down plus make a report. The complication is that my neighbor has an severely loud furnace. Whenever it kicks on it makes this bad squealing sound. It sounds like someone burning rubber with their tires. I am sure it is just a loose belt in the HVAC equipment but it wakes me up every single night. I haven’t slept well in weeks because of the furnace sound. I used to be able to sleep between the squealing noises even though I find that I can’t anymore. I guess this is because I am on edge waiting for the sound to happen again. I know if I fall asleep I will only be awoken again by the loud noise almost instantly. This had been going on for over a week now plus I am surprised no one has reported the noisy furnace to the HOA yet. I kept waiting for someone else to do it but it is clear now that I will have to be the one to report the noisy furnace myself. It is either that, or I will never get any sleep. I cherish getting some sleep even if that does mean that I have to become a rat.
