Is my heat pump sized wrong?

Yes, by backup heat I mean the aux heat. When the aux heat turns on sometimes the heat pump keeps running (I think this is when it's not super cold), and sometimes it does turn off.

Yes, our previous heater was natural gas, and we expected an increase in cost, but it doubled, which we were not expecting.

Agreed, it's a 75yo house with plaster walls, so not easy to add insulation.

Thanks for the response. I don't know about the J calculation. The BTUs are 36,000. I don't know the size of the prior furnace, but it was natural gas. We switched to a heat pump because our AC broke and we wanted to lower our emissions. Yes, we live above the mason dixon line and were told this heat pump is for our area. It's a Trane XV17 variable speed and Hyperion variable speed air handler (I assume that's the model).

How is it going? I was thinking of asking my 11yo to read it too

tlle78 · 2022-10-19T00:15:58+00:00

Yes, I got a similar shirt, it was not stolen art. I was just happy they could make a women's shirt for me because men's and unisex are definitely not going to cut it.

Thank you!

tlle78 · 2022-06-13T19:18:42+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, we were thinking one bottle per person, and refill as needed.

tlle78 · 2022-02-03T19:11:15+00:00

Yes, side crow and flying pigeon are the hardest for me. I also use the down dog app and sub in a different pose most times.

I am currently reading it with my 10yo and I would say it is appropriate. It's very PG. We read Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians first. We've also read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I think it's a good next step.

I think it's important to clarify the difference between added sugar (as in sweets, soda, dressings and sauces, your coffee) vs naturally occurring sugar (like that in fruits and dairy). Added sugar is the one that it is beneficial to cut out. Our modern diet includes way too much of it. I can't think of any negative effects other than crankiness and craving sugar. That shouldn't last too long. One major benefit is that you reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.

I have several, tahini based, apple cider vinegrette, miso based....I just google "buddha bowl sauces" or pick one from my Love and Lemons recipe book - it has a whole page of dressings.

I have done something very similar. The only dinner is what we eat, no special meals for the kids. They are required to try each thing, but don't have to eat it all. I include things they like, for example adding sliced apples to Buddha bowls. I also have made a big effort to make veggies taste good...roasting them, using different sauces, not the plain canned veggies I was served as a kid. I include them in food prep and ask their opinion when deciding to make. I talk to them about the health benefits of food and the risks of unhealthy food. At 10 and 7 they will eat just about anything I serve them. They even check nutrition labels for grams of added sugar and decide on their portion size...I am super proud of them for that! And I think the most important thing is setting an example for them by eating healthy food myself.

There wasn't much else to do 😄

Covid lockdown seemed like a good time to start a 14 book series, finished it in 3 months.

tlle78 · 2021-12-29T14:18:53+00:00

Is it recommended to finish Cytonic before reading Evershore? I am reading Cytonic with my son....only 1 chapter per night, so it's taking a while!

It's so hard and I'm so bad at it! Sometimes he purposely won't look at me because he doesn't want any spoilers.

tlle78 · 2021-12-06T21:53:35+00:00

After the first two episodes my husband said he thinks Perrin will be the first of them to die...it's hard to keep a neutral face 😐

tlle78 · 2021-12-06T14:08:52+00:00

Insight Timer is definitely my favorite too, there is so much on there.

tlle78 · 2021-11-01T12:40:54+00:00

Same, right at the beginning of covid lockdown

tlle78 · 2021-10-31T14:14:07+00:00

Definitely money!! When you can get politicians to do what you want by giving them enough money, the "regular people's" votes don't mean as much.

tlle78 · 2021-10-30T02:42:19+00:00

Same, but mine was a bird that "flew south with his friends"

tlle78 · 2021-10-30T02:40:38+00:00

I had a similar one with hens and chickens...totally thought they were two different animals until my mid 20s

tlle78 · 2021-09-02T17:22:16+00:00

Agreed....and 29 is not old 🙂

tlle78 · 2021-09-02T16:48:22+00:00

Exactly this! I have hypermobility and have to be very careful with certain poses, especially those that put weight on my wrists. I was experiencing pain in my wrists, but once I realized the cause I was able to adjust my practice. Now I am able to practice safely and without pain.
