I have been working on my house all summer to get rid of things.
I have boxes full of junk that I don’t necessarily need. I devoted one weekend of just going through those boxes and cleaning out my basement. I had things that were from when I graduated high school. One box had old binders filled with schoolwork. I wasn’t sure why I kept it all but I went through it just to make sure I didn’t throw away any awards or high school yearbooks. Good thing I did go through that box because I had all of my high school yearbooks in it. I went through one year book and looked back at my old classmates and teams that I played on. It was hard to imagine that it was almost ten years ago. Time sure does fly by! As I was going through the yearbook I felt a draft coming from the ceiling. It was originating from the ductwork. I got a small step ladder, climbed up and put my hand near the two ductwork pieces that joined together. The cold air was leaking from them. I immediately called my HVAC provider. The technician showed up and confirmed that the supply ducts were in fact leaking cold air. He said it was smart that I called him because I would have continued to lose money from my air conditioning unit running more than it should have. He repaired the leakage by using duct mastic. The ductwork was back to normal and not losing any more cold air.
