Longer Shower, Please!

I used to be able to take a nice long shower and then my mother could take one too without the water getting cold. Lately not only does the water get colder faster, but there’s also been less water pressure. I’m not really sure what’s causing the problem but someone told me that it might be our water heater. There’s a good chance that the water heater might be the problem because it is pretty old. I wonder if getting a new water heater would be a good idea. I saw some pretty cool tankless water heaters and they’re a lot more advanced than the one that I have now. I’m going to look into it because I really miss my long showers!

Snow Damage

It’s been so cold outside lately. Yesterday it was actually 11 degrees. It also snowed a lot in my town which I was not very happy about. It’s been snowing a lot recently and it kind of makes me happy that I don’t have to drive or worry about a car. Besides the fact that people with cars have a hard time with snow because of the roads and such, I’ve also seen snow damage a lot of cars. I’m not sure what about snow causes damages, but I’ve heard many people complain that the snow messes up their windows and things of that nature. If you’re lucky to have a garage I guess snow wouldn’t bother you too much. Or if you’re smart you could even use a car cover. Personally, I like not having to worry about anything.

Owning A Home

I want to buy my own house. I know that owning a home comes with a lot of responsibility and I’m probably not ready for that, but I hope to work on owning a home one day. As much as I’m excited about the thought of owning a home, I’m terrified at the thought of having a mortgage. That’s one reason that I’d like to live in an apartment for a while. I definitely need to save up some more money so that when I do have a mortgage to worry about it wont be completely stressful. Once I get a more stable, higher paying job and I save some money I’ll think about talking with mortgage lenders about the process of owning a home. Hopefully I’ll be able to do that within the next five years.

Build A Computer

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about getting a laptop. I currently have a desktop computer which I love and wouldn’t give up for anything, but it would be nice to have a laptop as a second computer. There are so many times when a portable computer would come in handy, but I’ll miss out on an opportunity because I don’t have one. Right now I really can’t afford to buy a new computer so I’m considering a used one. I wish I knew a lot about computers. If I did I would definitely buy a barebones computer. I could save hundreds of dollars just by building my on PC. Maybe it would be cheaper to find someone that can build me one of those barebones computers than it would be to buy a brand new laptop.
