Converting the old garage into a brand new room

Having kids on a tiny budget is a juggling act & walking a tightrope all at the same time, then so many things need to be perfectly balanced, just when I thought I was getting the hang of it, my little kids turned into surly teens, however they were larger, they needed more space, & they needed privacy.

There was not too much I could do, because extra study rooms don’t grow on trees; Instead I decided to convert the old, dusty 1-car garage into a spare study room for my oldest son.

It would need a lot of cosmetic work done, however it would also need a/c & an updated electrical panel. It would be simple enough to simply set up a portable heating & a/c component in the garage, however that won’t 100% solve the problem of air quality. It is a garage with brick floors & plain walls, used entirely for storage, & the air quality out there is musty, dusty, & damp, however controlling the high humidity, & restoring the air quality to something more habitable is the first issue, however after a very deep cleaning & a slight remodel, I hope that a portable Heating & A/C component can maintain the garage going forward. The current models of portable Heating & A/C systems are really quite unusual compared to the 1s I remember as a kid. These aren’t just a heavy box that you mount in a window, modern air conditioning units also have internal dehumidifiers & air cleaners… With the right method in location, I guess the air quality in the old, dusty garage will be better than ever.

The projected finish time came and went

When our hubby plus my self decided to make renovations, both of us wanted a professional plumber.

Both of us absolutely wanted the job to be completed properly.

All of us were easily willing to spend extra for fantastic fixtures then our method was strictly just to replace the vanity along with the toilet, tub, and also shower stall. All of us got plenty of quotes from licensed plumbers that seemed satisfactory and they were ready to get the job started soon. When the contractor tore away the tub, both of us were filled with concerns however the flooring underneath was found to be completely rotten. Even worse than that, the pipes were galvanized and badly corroded and also leaking. Those leaks had caused lots of water disfigure and there was a tremendous amount of water problem. The pipes and also dreams had to be replaced immediately. We had to get rid of the subflooring. The plumber easily discovered the toilet stack and floor surrounding were easily in bad shape as well. It is easily a miracle that we have not even fallen into the toilet when both of us sit down. We were basically getting rid of the entire bathroom so both of us told the plumber that he could get rid of the walls and also ceiling. This part of the project raised all of our costs considerably. Both of us did add some additional features like a ventilation system and also an overhead light. All of us got a rainfall style shower and even a small shower head to wash the dog.

Then tankless water gas furnaces have entirely few moving parts that are entirely replaced and that makes them a cost-effective machine. They last up to twice as long as many of the conventional units then plus the appliance does not need to toil as strenuous because of the fact that it is consistently reheating different types of water. These water heating systems are occasionally referred to as the on-demand systems. When a direct faucet is opened, the water then passes through a heat exchanger and is immediately warmed up. You don’t have to wait for water to get warm. You don’t have to worry about running out of a short of tepid water and modern tankless furnaces offers superior control over different temperatures.

Potential water heater problems

The water heater is an essential appliance in the home.

Every single day, the water heater provides the ability to clean, cook, shower and run other appliances. A problem with the water heater is extremely disruptive. Because of daily operation, the water heater will eventually wear out. Water leaks are probably the most common problem. The tank will gradually start to corrode and succumb to tiny cracks or fractures. If there is a leat at the top of the tank, it’s an indication that connections are loose. If the leak shows up at the bottom of the unit, it can be simply condensation. There could also be water spilling out from the overflow pipe or pressure relief valve, which is most often caused by corrosion and requires a replacement unit. If the tank is full of water but doesn’t provide hot water, the heating element has probably failed. For gas water heaters, this might be due to a bad pilot light or faulty gas connection. If the pilot light is lit but the gas won’t ignore, there might be a problem with the burner as a whole. For new heaters with electronic ignition systems, it’s a good idea to check the breaker box to see if the breaker has tripped. When the water has a strange smell, it’s possible the tank has developed bacteria. Turning up the temperature to around 140 degrees Fahrenheit will work to kill the contaminants. Leave the elevated temperature for about an hour or so and then turn it back down. If the water takes a long time to reheat, the thermostat could be set too low. There might be a concern with the gas connection, a dirty vent flue or a dirty burner orifice. There’s the possibility that the water heater doesn’t have enough capacity to provide for the requirements of the home. It could empty and never get a proper chance to completely refill and reheat before being under demand again.

Jobs for a professional plumber

I’ve had to hire a professional plumber for several jobs that I thought I could handle on my own.

What started out as a simple project turned into a time-consuming, frustrating, expensive mess.

At one point, I decided to replace my kitchen faucet. I’ve installed faucets before. The process isn’t all that difficult. It simply requires the proper tools, some time and patience. Unfortunately, I couldn’t remove the old faucet. The connections were so badly corroded that I couldn’t get them apart. I tried buying a bigger and better pipe wrench but had no luck. I bought WD40 and sprayed the connections multiple times. I even purchased a specialized wrench for hard-to-reach areas and still couldn’t remove the old faucet. After several days of attacking the same problem in different ways, I gave up and called a plumber. The plumber actually cut the old pipes and replaced everything with new. Although the job ended up costing a lot more than I anticipated, the final result was much better than I could have accomplished. I got into another impossible challenge when the toilet wouldn’t quit running. Although I had never replaced the guts of a toilet, I knew that it was pretty straightforward. I googled the process just to be safe. The first step required that I turn off the water supply to the toilet. I found the shut-off valve near the floor behind the toilet. No matter how many times I turned the valve, the water never shut off. I determined that replacing the water shut-off valve was beyond my capabilities. Once again, it cost me a lot more money to hire a licensed plumber to come to the house and complete a very simple job. Just recently, my water pump wouldn’t start up at all. There was no running water in the house. Assuming that a failed water pump definitely required the skills of a professional, I hired a plumber. The water pump is located outside. The plumber removed the cap covering the electrical wires and found ants had infested it. He sprayed the area with ant poison, cleaned the wires with a fine sandpaper and had the pump running in ten minutes.

We had to lay in the heat in these tiny little modular boxes

It’s going to be a long time before I forget about covid-19 as well as how it affected everything as well as everyone.

I still carry my vaccine card in my pocket as well as I get my booster shots when I am supposed to.

I lost several members of my family to the illness as well as I believe lots of other people that lost loved ones as well, however during the height of the pandemic, I volunteered to work at one of the mobile covid-19 testing centers! As a retired doctor, I believe how to spot symptoms of sickness, and the covid-19 testing centers were totally irritated… We had to lay inside of this tiny little modular box all day in the heat. The mobile covid-19 testing centers did not have any A/C at all. There were times when I thought I might have a fever just because I was getting boiling. After the pandemic subsided, I wonder what they did with all of the portable covid-19 buildings, testing facilities, as well as isolation equipment. Does all of that stuff get thrown into a landfill someplace or can it be reused at another time? I wonder what happened to all of the extra masks, hand sanitizer, as well as other medical supplies. At the height of the pandemic, I could not find a single bottle of hand sanitizer for less than $4 as well as now they are all over the supermarket, pharmacy, as well as grocery store for a dollar. The Dollar Tree down the street even has hand sanitizer, packs of masks, as well as other covid testing solutions as well as they are all available for only a dollar.
