My best friend has a drinking problem

It’s hard to watch someone you love self-destruct and ruin their lives.

My best friend has a terrible drinking problem and I don’t know how to help the guy.

We have been friends for 10 years and we have been roommates for three of those years. Lately, it seems like the guy is depressed and sad. I have tried to talk to him about life and girls and family, but he never wants to talk about anything that is important. A few months ago, the guy started drinking heavily and now he hits the bottle every single night. He missed a couple of days of work last month because he was hungover. Yesterday, we had to pay for an AC repairman and the bill was steep. Doug fell asleep after drinking all morning. He woke up and the temperature was warm, so he turned the AC thermostat down to 62 degrees. He went back to sleep and never adjusted the thermostat again. The AC system could not handle the low temperature and it froze up and stopped working. When I came home from work, Doug was passed out on the couch and the inside of the house felt like an igloo. The total for the repair bill was $260 and I told Doug that he has to pay all of it. I’m really getting sick and tired of babysitting my best friend. The guy is 25 years old and he acts like a teenager. If he doesn’t get his life together soon, I’m going to need to look for a different living situation.

It’s a good thing that I came home for lunch

I hardly ever come home for lunch, because my business is about 20 minutes away from my house.

  • I was meeting with a client on Wednesday and I was only a mile away from the house so I decided to stop.

I thought it would be nice to see the dogs during the day and I thought they would enjoy a half hour of yard time. The dogs were very excited to see me. As soon as I opened the door I saw them. They were panting and excited. it was very warm and the doorway oh, so I closed the front door and I took off my jacket. I walked through the house and it still felt very warm. When I checked the thermostat, I realized that the air conditioner was not working. I had the thermostat temperature set to 72 degrees, but the indoor temperature was 77. The dogs absolutely looked miserable. Their water dish was dry. I gave them a fresh bowl of water with ice cubes and I called the air conditioner repair service. The lady on the phone was very nice and helpful. She had an appointment opening immediately, but I was due back at work shortly. I decided to stay home and cancel everything in the afternoon. I thought the air conditioner was the most important problem at that time. I can’t imagine how hot it would have been in the house, if I had not come home at lunchtime to check on the dogs. My poor dogs would have suffered all afternoon while I was at work.

I wanted a new car, but my wife wanted a new AC

It was exciting to receive a stimulus payment for the government.

  • A couple of months ago, my wife and I had to decide how we would spend that money.

I really wanted to buy a new car with the cash, but my wife wanted a new AC. Our car was on its last leg, and I tried to plead my case. Unfortunately, both of our jobs are only 2 miles away from our apartment and it is not 100% necessary to have a vehicle. It is absolutely necessary to have air conditioning, so my wife won her case. We called a company that services our AC when the machine needs to be repaired. I got an estimate from that AC company and I also decided to get several additional estimates from a few different AC service providers. My wife and I chose our regular company to install the new machine. they had the best price for the installation job by 10% and my wife and I trust them in our home. We have had several repairs in the past and this company has always provided great service and excellent prices. I had to wait a couple of days for the installation team to become available, but my wife and I were not in a hurry to have that work completed. Neither one of us minded waiting until the weekend. On a warm and sunny Saturday morning, the installation team replaced our AC with a brand new energy-efficient machine. It took most of the day, but the guys worked quickly. They didn’t even take a break for lunch.

The pool area had several gas heaters

My sister and her fiance got engaged a couple of weeks ago and they invited everyone to the mountains for the weekend to celebrate the engagement.

My boyfriend and I decided to join them for the events.

I wasn’t sure if we would have any fun, because the weather was going to be rainy and cold. My boyfriend said we would find lots of ways to enjoy our time even if the weather kept us indoors. I was really happy when I found out that the pool area had several gas heaters. I wanted to spend some time in the hot tub, but the pool and the hot tub we’re both outdoors. I thought it would be far too cold to enjoy the amenities. As we drove by the pool and hot tub complex, my boyfriend noticed several gas heaters on the patio. My boyfriend works in the heating industry as a service technician. He recognized the heaters immediately and he told me that they looked like really good ones. After we had a nice dinner, my boyfriend and I decided to sneak down to the pool and hot tub complex for a quick dip before bed. There were gas heaters in the area by the hot tub and they were easily movable from one place to another. My boyfriend moved them both to the side of the hot tub where the two of us were sitting. It was almost too much warmth between the heaters and the hot water. We only stayed for ten minutes, but the water felt great.

Could shared ductwork be the problem?

I am going to talk to the building manager plus see if they can do a ductwork cleaning

Ever since all of us rented this current home I have been having chronic sinus headaches, then the headaches are worse at night plus they slowly dissipate during the day. That is because I am not at house during the day. I have tried everything I could think of in order to get rid of the sinus headaches. I have used humidifiers, dehumidifiers, plus media UV air purifiers… Not all at the same time, of course. I have also had our carpets professionally cleaned plus I have wiped down all of the walls myself. I have even cleaned the curtains. Nothing has helped… However, I have noticed that my headaches are worse when the furnace or cooling system are on. If it is a nice day I just leave the windows open plus the ceiling fan on… On those nights, I don’t have any dust sensitivity symptoms at all. That is why I am starting to think that it is the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C plan in the building that is causing my dust sensitivities. The whole current home shares 1 Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system. It is equipped with zone control so that all of us all have our own control units. This seemed ok. I mean, I can’t decide if the heat or cooling system is on despite the fact that I can turn them off for my apartment. However, I fear that there is dust plus allergens floating around from 1 current home to the next through the ductwork. I am going to talk to the building manager plus see if they can do a ductwork cleaning. If that doesn’t fix my dust sensitivities I don’t think what else to do. I might have to cut my lease plus find another locale to live as soon as I can afford to do so.

This rental has underfloor heating plus cooling!

When both of us were looking for a location to rent both of us genuinely wanted some location close to our workplaces plus near a dog park. However, both of us were having a lot of trouble finding a location like that. And, when both of us did, there was always something that both of us hated about the rental property. One potential rental only had a window air conditioner plus floorboard heaters, for example. All of us genuinely wanted a rental with central heating plus air. Then both of us decided to check out this house for rent. It was a little bit further than both of us liked but it was near a dog park. The rent was cheap so both of us were weary. However, it did say that it had central heating plus cooling so both of us decided to check it out. All of us actually like it! The dog park is only a block away. The house is tiny like an apartment but it is not an apartment. This means both of us won’t have noisy neighbors. It has a fence, which is superb for the dog. The best area is the fact that the house has underfloor heating plus cooling. I have always wanted a location with underfloor heating, then my Grandfatherrents’ house used to have it plus it made the house so comfortable. I didn’t even feel they made underfloor cooling. Now that I do I am genuinely looking forward to living in a house that has it. The owner of the house seemed genuinely nice too. She seemed like she would be enthusiastic to have us transfer in. All of us just need to wait for some paperwork to go through. Then this location will be ours to live in. I can’t wait to use the underfloor climate control either. I hope it is a genuinely frosty afternoon when both of us transfer in so both of us can turn it on.

That doesn’t count as underfloor heating plus cooling

When both of us rented this house both of us were told it had underfloor heating plus cooling.

I thought that was lovely.

I have always hated how loud forced air heating plus cooling is. However, as soon as both of us moved in I could hear the forced air sound that the air conditioner was making. It appeared both of us just had a regular air conditioner plus heater, but then, I couldn’t find the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C vents. They were not on the ceiling, walls, or floor as far as I could tell. It wasn’t until both of us started moving furniture around that both of us found the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C vents. It appeared that they were under the carpet. The entire house is carpeted. This includes the dining room plus the bathroom, however yuck! This should have been a large yellow flag but, again, I thought the house had underfloor heating plus cooling. I thought maybe the carpeting was area of the underfloor heating plus cooling. Our first evening in our rented house was terrible. Both our spouse plus I were super clogged! Just the thought of all of that air filtering through a dirty carpet is enough to make myself and others sick. In the afternoon both of us called up the property owner plus confronted him about the underfloor heating plus cooling. She said it had it after all, but at first, she said she never said that. Then she said that the ducts are under the floor so it does have underfloor heating plus cooling. Yeah, it doesn’t labor that way. All of us will be finding a current location to rent immediately. There is no point in unpacking.

Could shared HVAC duct be the problem?

However, I fear that there is dust plus allergens floating around from a single apartment to the next through the HVAC duct.

Ever since both of us rented this apartment I have been having chronic sinus headaches, and the headaches are worse at evening plus they slowly dissipate during the afternoon. That is because I am not at house during the afternoon, then i have tried everything I could suppose of in order to get rid of the sinus headaches. I have used humidifiers, dehumidifiers, plus media air cleaners; Not all at the same time, of course.

Nothing has helped, then however, I have noticed that our headaches are worse when the heating system or air conditioner are on. If it is a nice afternoon I just leave the windows open plus the ceiling fan on, however on those afternoons, I do not have any flu symptom symptoms at all. That is why I am starting to suppose that it is the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C program in the building that is causing our dust irritations. The whole apartment shares a single Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system. It is equipped with zone control so that both of us all have our own thermostats. This seemed ok.

I wasn’t a fun of the moderate sunlight and no undefined

I can still think the sweltering heat mixed with the salt of the ocean, and our sweat makes me think sticky and heavy.

“How is this supposed to be fun?” I thought to myself.

Seven-year-old me, with our mini shades, juice box, and hatred for the beach is the reason I was the different kid and outcast in our cali-centric family. My mother with her gorgeous Indian Summer tan, our father with his obnoxious surfer locks, and our siblings who enjoyed to splash in the salty waves were the reason that most people in our family looked at me with strange wonderment.With our pale skin and unhappy appearance, I felt savor an alien in these “fun-in-the-sun” family outings. My mom tried to make it fun for me. She purchased every sand castle kit, floaties in obscure creature shapes, and adorable little kid bathing suits on the market. While I appreciated the effort it still didn’t change the fact that I dreaded the heat and sunlight of the CA beaches. All I wanted to do was rest at lake house in the quality , and our family had a state of the art high velocity A/C plan. The air would suddenly whip through the lake house and lower the temperature in a matter of hours. That was our proposal of a nice time. A lot of cooling, a nice drink and to relax inside with a book. As an adult, it is no wonder that I sprung for a nice plan.

Working from Home Brings Positives and Negatives

So, how do you savor working from home? I, personally, have regularly wanted to toil from home, and I have tried to talk our boss into it since the day I started.

I have regularly thought it was a bit of a waste of cash paying rent on office space, now that the virus has arrived, just about most people is working from home, and I am gleeful that I really have a task, to tell you the truth.

I have also finally discovered what it is savor to really toil from home, and I have l acquired it brings both positives and downsides. The best thing is having no commute and being able to sleep right up until time to work, another good thing is being in control of the thermostat! That’s right, in our office, the acts savor it has been possessed by an ill-tempered child. No matter where I set the thermostat, I am cold, and our boss is perspiring. His office does not have enough air vents, as it only has a single. My office is ⅓ the size of his, and I have two air vents! Anyway, at home, I have no HVAC comfort issues. I set the thermostat on 72 when I go to sleep; When I wake up and mosey to the hallway, I change the setting to 71, however between the and the ceiling fan in our bedroom, that is plenty cool for me. The downside side of working from lake house is having no excuse to buy new clothes!
