Oh look, it’s Friday and the weekend is upon us. Put that together with it being July 4th week, beautiful weather, and we are about to head off to vacation.
Isn’t this just the perfect time to continue thinking of your Vacation Home here in The Green Mountain State? Of course, we all know that nothings is better than July and August in Vermont! Don’t forget that even the skiers look forward to this.
Next Tuesday is July 4th and for many people the Nation’s Birthday Holiday will start on Friday and last all next week. Yes, Vermont Modular Homes will be closed for a long holiday weekend along with everyone else.
So, while you and your family are on vacation have you considered building your own vacation home right here in Vermont? Well of course you have and honestly, we think it’s a great idea.
It’s Friday, the weekend is upon us, yesterday was the Summer Equinox so Summer is officially here, it has been beautiful weather all week long, and now both Saturday and Sunday are scheduled to rain.
This weekend is the perfect time to sit back, think, dream, and plan the layout for your new home.
As I start to write this blog post it dawns on me that today is May 30th, the traditional day for Memorial Day. This May 30th let us all remember those that have preserved our freedoms and the joy we have in our lives.
Energy Efficiency is a theme that Vermont Modular Homes constantly talks about, we think of Energy Efficiency as one of our core values.
Every well-built home has good insulation to stop Heat Loss. Granted, Vermont Modular believes we build one of the most Energy Efficient homes available.
However, there is a “Weak Link” in every home and it is the same everywhere. That weak link is the windows.
Over this past weekend we had unseasonably cold weather, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and very high winds. Isn’t April just fabulous! I have mentioned several times that I personally think April is the cruelest month of the year. Last weekend snow, this coming weekend it is forecast to be 60 degrees. See why I think April is awful! The great thing about April is that it is followed by glorious May and so on…………
Here it is the middle of April 2018 the temperature outside is 51 degrees, it is cloudy, raining, and windy. YUCK! Personally, I think April can be the cruelest month of the year! One day it’s beautiful and then the next it’s snowing. By the way, a freezing mix is forecast for the weekend.
Yesterday we talked about how Condensing Boilers had become very energy efficient and that in some European Countries the government was either requiring Condensing Boilers or strongly encouraging their use with financial subsides; the goal is to reduce Green House Emissions and to improve the environment. Don’t forget that a Boiler makes Hot Water.
Today let’s take a look at how the Furnace has improved. Boilers make hot water and the Furnace makes Hot Air.
The other day we talked about a grease and/or cooking oil fire in the kitchen and how very dangerous they can be. I was surprised how quickly people commented on that blog post. Obviously, there is sincere interest and concern. Let’s face it the grease fire in the kitchen can easily end up with the home being destroyed so, the kitchen fire is critically important and extremely dangerous!
So, is spring is around the corner? Here in northern Vermont the temperatures have been rapidly climbing across most of the north country. Much if not all of the snow is gone. Let’s not forget that today it is the first of March and spring has not arrived! This is still a great time to be thinking and working on keeping your home here in Vermont warm and comfortable in winter.
