I am endlessly impressed by the numerous gadgets and products that I find at the large box hardware stores.

I will walk inside looking for a quart of paint or a pack of light bulbs and then I’ll see the displays they put up in between the aisles.

Although I am never swooned by the costly power tools and lawn mowers, occasionally I appreciate to use some of the smaller items appreciate water test kits and face masks for bleach cleaning. I even found a cheap weather station a single year during the holiday season that gives full indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, and more. If you have concerns with Heating, Ventilation, and A/C consistency in your condo when you go from a single room to the next, these weather stations can be good at providing measurements on temperature differences throughout the house. Because our ventilation plan is ancient and hasn’t been cleaned in decades, I occasionally have concerns with dust getting dislodged and making its way into our condo as it leaves the ceiling vents. Last month the large chain hardware store was offering a sale on this special item for fan forced Heating, Ventilation, and A/C HVAC duct. They are these tiny foam filters that you can put inside ceiling registers to catch any dust, pollen, or mold particulate that is inside the HVAC duct and always falling into your air plan as the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C cycles. They are relatively cheap and take only a few hours to install, as long as you have a ladder that can reach and the dexterity to unscrew the plate cover with the appropriate type of screw driver. I didn’t notice a large difference after installing them, but I really felt appreciate I was coughing a lot less than before.
