I decided to create this blog to help others in the same boat. Whether you are a military spouse on your own for the first time, a new homeowner or just someone looking for tips, you have come to the right place. I am going to fill this blog with HVAC tips and hacks. I hope that it helps, informs and entertains you. Thanks for stopping by!
