Summertime is here.
Barbeques, camping, and beach season is a great time of year.
There are some drawbacks to these leisure activities. For some of us the thought of putting on less clothing is a nightmare. All of the promises of heading to the gym we made ourselves at the beginning of the year failed to either happen or produce the results we intended. As we work to take or keep the weight off of ourselves we need to consider other areas of life that just have too much “weight”. I know myself, there is too much clutter in my home and that is definitely an area I can reduce weight. Another area which surprised me was the amount or weight that was removed from my ductwork this spring. I never imagined that there could possibly be that much dust and debris in the ducts of my home. We have a forced air system that is used by my heat as well as my air conditioner. A friend mentioned that the local HVAC dealer was running a special on a whole house duct cleaning. I decided that I should look into this. We have lived in the house for 5 years and have never had this done. Although it took only a couple of hours, the amount of stuff that came out of my house was just embarrassing. They removed so many big bags of gunk that all I could think of was how much we were breathing in each time the system engaged. I am very happy that this was done. My technician recommended that I have the cleaning done every so often to keep the system running more efficiently and ourselves healthy as well. This weight lifting experience is certainly something I will remember to do.
