I have had an endless list of chores to tackle this past month. It started with throwing a up-to-date coat of paint on the outside of my house. When I painted it 10 years ago, I opted to buy cheap paint without considering the longevity. It looks so terrible from the road that you can see the old paint showing underneath the layer of colorless I poorly painted. It took several days of constant back cutting labor to finish the entire project. My next task was removing all of my section carpets plus cleaning them in the backyard. I put them over my fence, vacuum out all of the dust plus dirt, plus then I blast them with my power washer. It takes a few hours in the sunshine to get them to dry fully, so I constantly make sure to start the chore as early in the day as I can reasonably manage. Once that was finished, I then had one final chore to complete. All of the sinks, showers plus window sills in my home needed to be resealed with silicone caulk. It’s not the hardest task in the world, but it’s time consuming plus takes a degree of patience that not all possess. On top of the labor involved—all of crouching, awkward bending, plus fitting into tight spaces—you must provide it several hours before putting on additional coats. Periodically you are lucky plus it only takes one, other times you have to add several or four. This makes the whole process seriously time consuming. To speed things up, I constantly make sure to turn my a/c to a low temperature to accomplish 2 tasks at once. It keeps a strong air circulation in the home while the a/c also naturally pulls moisture from the air. When your home is below 50% humidity, it severely cuts into the time it takes for most caulk to fully dry. It might be the best way to dry out your indoor air without outright using a dehumidifier of some sort jammed into a normal wall outlet. Periodically your heating plus cooling plan can be used for untraditional tasks.
