I’ve found rubbing alcohol to be a great cleaner. It removes hairspray build up that gets on your bathroom faucets. It removes water spots and makes the faucets shine. It’s a cheap cleaner and you won’t have to dig into your savings accounts. A bottle of rubbing alcohol usually costs less than $1.00.

I use alcohol to get hairspray residue off my bathroom countertops, the rim of the sink, etc. It has a lot of uses.

I miss the house we used to have. It had 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a great kitchen, living room and dining room. We added on a 2 car garage and later added a 1 bedroom, 1 bath in law apartment on the back. The livingroom/great room area and master bedroom and bath had cathedral ceilings with skylights in the living room and kitchen.

We ran into financial problems and lost the house. I really wish we had looked into getting some foreclosure help before that happened. We didn’t do that and just let them take it. That began the condo renting cycle. We really want to try to get another house. Hubby really misses having a garage to tinker around in and I really miss having my own home. I miss being able to paint and do what I want with my home. I miss the peace and quiet we had at our old home. Some day… some day….

Summer season is upon us with a vengeance. Before you turn on your AC you should replace/clean the filter (depending on what type you have). You should also have your air conditioning compressor checked and make sure it’s clean around it. If your AC unit is outside, make sure leaves and debris is cleared away from the unit.

The outside unit is something I don’t have to take care of since I live in a condo and I rent. The cleaning around it is done by the maintenance people and if it breaks down then it’s up to the landlord to get it fixed.

My AC is working perfectly. I’ve had to use it for the past few weeks now and I’m nice and comfortable inside when the weather is hot and humid outside.
