My partner Pat plus myself both retired in the last few years.
Fortunately, the people I was with and I had a rather generous savings account on top of the numerous pensions.
Even though we’re financially stable for the rest of our lives, I am restless some afternoons. I go hiking or take long bike rides but it’s never enough to keep our brain feeling active. Before long, I was thinking about starting a contractor or getting another job. Thankfully Pat stepped up plus helped myself and others to snap out of it. She asked myself and others to take our energy plus apply it to fixing our condo plus making all of the improvements I can that aren’t a risk to our health at our age. Obviously I can lift slabs of granite to substitute the countertops, but I can absolutely repaint the fence outside plus build shelving units in our home office. I also inspect our lake condo to make sure nothing is askance, plus one constant section of complication is our central heating plus cooling system. For whatever reason, the humidity level was below 60% in the house, regardless of how often the people I was with and I run the air conditioner. Before buying a new Heating plus Air Conditioning system, I went to the hardware store plus purchased a dehumidifier. These dehumidifiers are only $250 plus that is a mere fraction of the cost of a new central air conditioner. Just how I had hoped, the dehumidifier lowered our humidity level in our condo by nearly ten%. That might not seem significant, but in terms of indoor humidity that’s a sizable drop. If you’re just over 60% humidity, that will get you closer to 50% plus at a moisture level where it’s much harder for mildew, mold plus fungal spores to grow.
