Change Your Furnace Filters Regularly
We had our first big freeze last night. The house is pretty cold this morning, but I am stubbornly being a miserly scrooge frugal by refusing to turn on the furnace yet. Truth is, I’m late this year in getting ready for winter! My furnace needs a tune up and new filters yet, and I [...]

This blog gets a lot of hits from people searching Google, questioning whether they should cover their cold air return vents. I just wanted to let you know that it is very unadvisable that you cover these vents. I did for a few years until my Furnace Guy informed me of the details. Your home [...]

AT LAST! I have my furnace ducting finished. It has been a long job– took weeks– but it is complete. It took so long to complete this because the ducts are so integrated with the room (walls and floor). I now have three heat vents and one cold air return. I should actually have another [...]

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
