My house was built nearly several hundred years ago as well as the hardwood floors, staircases, moldings as well as doors are all original! I’ve spent countless hours stripping the paint off the wood, sanding as well as varnishing it.
I’ve also spent a great deal of currency purchasing antique furniture to suit the style of the home.
I have amassed a priceless collection of tables, chairs, bed frames, dressers, desk as well as a Grandfather clock. In the area where I live, every one of us experience every style of weather extremes, the winters are long as well as horribly chilly while the summers are hot as well as excessively humid. I have a central furnace as well as cooling system to manage year round temperature control! Unluckyly, the heating idea creates issues with overly dry air as well as the cooling system isn’t designed to combat high humidity. I sad that a lack of humidity in the Winter time might cause my hardwood furnishings to dry out as well as crack. I was sad that too much moisture while every one of us were in the summer time could lead to the wood swelling as well as warping. To resolve these issues, I invested in both a humidifier as well as dehumidifier. The ability to regulate humidity levels not only protects the integrity of the home as well as furniture but has significantly improved comfort as well as reduced energy bills. In the winter, the properly moisturized air feels warmer as well as allows for lower thermostat settings. In the winter, removing excess humidity lessens demands on the cooling system as well as shortens running times. I’m paying less every week as well as have reduced wear as well as tear on the furnace as well as cooling system. I expect both systems to last longer as well as succumb to fewer malfunctions.
