All the Effort Was Worth It

The renovation of my bathroom was quite a task, but it was worth the effort. A new toilet was installed, along with a new sink, tiles, a shower head, and even a tub. I needed a little help with the toilet and tub because of the size of the task. The previous tub was one that was raised from the ground and had a simple curtain to cover it. The new tub is one that has sliding shower doors. I had to get custom shower doors in New Jersey to fit the specific look that I was going for in the bathroom.

Whenever I use my tub to bathe in, I can open and close the nifty shower doors easily. In the past, I would have to replace the shower curtains when they became worn and old, but with the glass doors, I can simply clean them off and they will look as good as the day that they were first installed. The tub itself is pretty nice because there are jet ports where air can come out, which comes in handy when I want to sit in the tub for an extended period of time after work and just relax my cares away.

The new shower head that I installed has special settings for spraying water in a massaging fashion. It can also be used as a handheld sprayer and reach any part of my body. When I’m spraying the shower head, water sometimes hits the glass shower doors and it makes a pretty cool effect. Sometimes I like to stand in the shower and let it spray on my neck and back for a good ten minutes before getting out. It’s pretty relaxing, but it definitely shows up on my water bill and the end of the month.

Coming Home to an Unwanted Surprise

It was such letdown to find out that I needed to have HVAC repair in NYC done after coming back from my vacation. I traveled down to Florida to do some deep sea fishing with my friends, and I had a fun time. I was feeling like I was on top of the world, but that went away as soon as I tried to turn on my air conditioner, only for it to not work. I really didn’t feel like spending any money for repairs, especially after spending money for my vacation, but I had no other choice but to pay for it.

Although I wasn’t too pleased about needing to have repairs for my HVAC system, at least I would have one that functions. I’ve spent a few summers without a working air conditioner, and they were terrible. I used fans and open windows to cool myself off as much as possible, but they didn’t work that well. Sometimes I would fill up the bathtub with cold water and just sit in there for hours, as if I was sitting in a cool swimming pool. Every day seemed as if it lasted for an entire week, and the whole summer period seemed like a full year. It’s definitely not something that I want to relive again.

After a quick call and a half an hour of work, the repairs were done to my HVAC, leaving me with a working air conditioner. As I sat in my cool home, a friend of mine gave me a call about going for another fishing trip in a couple of weeks, but I told him that I wanted to wait a little while until my savings build back up. By the time they do, summer will more than likely be here, and I’ll be ready to fish and to cool down at home.

I Had Bird Droppings on My Sidewalk

There is nothing more pleasant to me on a summer morning than sitting on my front porch with a cup of coffee and listening to the birds sing their songs of nature. Now one of the things that bother me a great deal in the summer is all the bird droppings outside of the small shop I own. It sits by itself, so this problem is only mine. For some reason, the birds must think that I like them so much that I want everything from them. I did a search for bird control in Monmouth County NJ because while I certainly do enjoy the summer songs, I cannot have a messy sidewalk constantly in front of my shop.

I knew that there had to be a way to deter them from doing that right where my customers must walk, so I did the only thing I knew to do, which was to look online for some help on this problem. I was able to find a company that actually does this full time, and I was very happy to see that they do not harm the birds in any way.

I know I said I wanted them gone, but that doesn’t mean that I wanted them to be harmed in any way. I just wanted them to move on to their next place of residence. The company told me that I would be able to have spikes placed along my roof. I was not sure what that meant, and he explained to me that the birds are roosting there with nothing to stop them from continuing that. He said with the spikes placed throughout the roof surface, that the birds would not be able to do that. They would then move on to another roof where they could roost. That is what we did, and it worked like a charm. The best part is that I still have my birds at home who sing to me every morning!

Pocket Savings and Environment with Boiler Upgrade Scheme

Initially it is important to conceptualize what the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is, which is considered a government initiative to encourage more people to install low carbon heating systems, such as heat pumps and also the famous biomass boilers.

That said, it is important to mention that the Boiler Upgrade Scheme supports the decarbonisation of heat in buildings in general, in order to elucidate less pollution.

Another point is that it provides initial capital subsidies to support the installation of heat pumps and biomass boilers in homes and buildings that are not yet considered domestic in the country.

The operation is still carried out by equipment intended for the generation of steam that has the purpose of transforming water into water steam, using for this purpose several variations of biomass, such as wood derivatives (pellets, wood residues, among others), residues agro-industrial, sugarcane, etc.

Thus, from a sustainability point of view, the advantages of biomass as a fuel in these boilers are:

  • No emission of sulfur dioxide, which pollutes the environment;It is a renewable fuel;
  • Greater energy efficiency;
  • Provides the reuse of waste, preventing it from having incorrect destinations
  • In addition, biomass boilers are used in companies whose industrial processes require high temperatures, such as chemical and petrochemical industries and in several other industrial segments.

But all this goes through a process, which qualifies to obtain such a benefit, however this initiative has been drawing people’s attention, because in addition to improving their well-being in general, it also contributes to a better environment.

So we can say that Biomass Boiler or even Low Carbon Heating really contributes to people’s economy and pocket as well as a wood burning biomass boiler can save up to £1100 a year compared to an old heating system electric.

As in the example above, it is clear that there is savings in the pocket and also in the environment, providing only benefits in general.
