Straight 2 Sleep

We just had a Geothermal system put in. All was fine, but after about three or four days, my wife and I started feeling sick.

I was lifgt-headed. My wife was more sensitive and had headaches, burping, nausia, upset stomach, and burning eyes.

The technicians were out but couldn’t find anything wrong.

We have it off most the time and is frustrating with high tempurtures and humidity.

We had the ductwork cleaned, vacuum serveral times and dusted to no avail. Everytime we put it back on the symtoms come back mildly in a few hours, then worst in about a day.

The company isn’t very cooperative, and it’s very frustrating. Never imagined having these problems.

If we can’t fix this fixed then what do we do? Install another regular furnace and air condictoner?

Will keep you updated on this nightmare.

Update we had another technician out he replaced part of the ductwork they installed that had insulation glued to the inside. Thought we were sensitive to the glue. When it was removed it did have a strong order. It will take a few days to see if that was it. As of now we still smell it.

Had our carpet cleaned just in case that may help.

8-28-08 Put in new filter, ran unit for a while, still was emitting some fumes.

8-30-08  We think ( hope) that it is finally clearing up. Will let you know. If you ever get a GeoThermal (water furnace), you may want to ask the duckwork installer to leave the insulation and glue out. We haven’t notice any increase in noise without it.

Besides this problem we think GeoThermal cooling/heating will save us quite abit even though it’s expensive to install.

Remember when you were young and you wanted to look older than you were? Well, now that you are older, the tables have turned and you are trying to look younger. As you grow older, the signs of aging creep in. You will start to notice puffy, baggy eyelids. You may also have dry skin and fine lines and wrinkles. Your hair will show signs of gray and your body just doesn’t handle the stress of everyday life like it used to. But don’t despair, you don’t have to grow old gracefully. You can still fight the signs of aging naturally. Read on to uncover some great anti aging tips that do not require medication or surgery.

One of the biggest things that ages you is stress. Stress will produce wrinkles in your face. It can cause your hair to thin and become dull. If you are a stress eater, excess stress can make you gain weight which will make you appear older. So if you want to look younger, you have got to learn to deal with the stress in your life. Start meditating or take up a hobby to de-stress you. Exercise can also help with stress. Find out what works the best for you and use it to ease the stress from your life.

A poor diet will make you appear older than you are. Your body needs certain nutrients to repair cell damage. If you are feeding your body junk, it cannot get the nutrients that it needs. The result will be dull, lifeless hair, blotchy or wrinkled looking skin and a general appearance of poor health. Eating a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water will help your body fight off the effects of aging.

Take note of your hands. If you have dry, wrinkled looking hands with ragged looking nails, you will look older. Take great care to keep your hands moisturized and young looking. Splurge on manicures to keep your nails looking great.

If you have a problem with puffy eyes, a quick cure for this is to elevate your head while in bed. Sleep on an extra pillow to keep your head up and prevent fluid from accumulating around your eyes. You can also apply cold compresses to the eyes in the morning to erase under eye puffiness.

A good posture is very important when it comes to looking younger. People who slouch will look older than someone who stands straight and tall with their chest out. Walk with a spring in your step and a smile on your face. This simple trick can take ten years off of your appearance.

Finally, the best natural anti aging method is to take good care of yourself. Eat right, exercise, don’t smoke, don’t drink to excess and have a positive attitude. If you do all of these things for yourself, people will never be able to guess your true age.
