• It’s all about air conditioning! Get ready for summer time.

    Summer is just around the corner, and since I’m a wise fellow (at least I try to be) I’m going to make sure I stay clear of past mistakes. To be specific, I’m going to keep myself from being a cheapskate this year, and suffering with atrocious heat as a result. Yup, you’re probably seeing where this is headed right now… it’s all about air conditioning. I’ve been meaning to get a decent air conditioning system for several years now, but I always end up postponing because I hate the idea of spending money in something that does the work of a simple and inexpensive fan.

    Well… at least that was how I used to think. But last summer I changed my mind, and it got changed through the intense and uncomfortable and continuous dropping of sweat… all through the summer. I’m not sure if that’s a consequence of global warming (I suspect it might be), but a simple fan no longer does the trick like it used to, in providing a fresh and pleasant ambiance. Suffice to say that I’ve already been researching some Air Conditioning Contractors, and I’ve definitely made up my mind. This year I won’t sacrifice my well being for the sake of saving a few hundred bucks.

    If you can relate to this premise and you’re also looking for a good air conditioning system, check out www.servicefirstac.com! I think you’ll be quite pleased with their offering. Well, at least I know I was.

     
  • There’s nothing like a summer evening barbecue!

    Today I invited a few of my friends over for a barbecue, and it was a pretty neat experience. HOWEVER, being the proper geek that I am, I’m already thinking how I can make it better the next time around. You see, I’m taking advantage of a little backdoor patio in my new house to bring out the best in the summer. And late evening outdoor dinner parties are one of my favorite things to do in the summer! There’s something really nice about eating outdoors in the cool, cool summer breeze after a long, hot day.

    Well, that’s exactly one of the problems I’m dealing with to make sure the next barbecue is even better. The heat. Rather, the absence of a cool summer breeze. It was just too hot tonight, I was sweating bullets all through the evening… and the fact that I was in charge of handling the grill certainly didn’t help. So, first in my to-do list involves getting some Outdoor Fans (such as the amazing minka aire )to make sure there’s always a breeze when needed be. Now, second on my list comes a proper Kichler Landscape Lighting; simply because spotlight lamps (such as the one I’m using right now) totally wreck havoc with the whole summer evening lounging mood. Hm… getting all these items are gonna set me back a good chunk of cash, but I think it’ll be worth it! There’s nothing like a good summer evening barbecue I tell you!
