Since i have moved to my new apartment 1 year back, it has water based board heating. I have sort of developed congestion, irritability sort of symptoms. Whenever i come to my apartment, after sometime i start to feel congestion , irritabily, confusion and dizziness. Before that i have always lived in apartments which had Forced air heating and never developed any of these symptoms. Seems like there's no air in this apartment. Due to cold weather cant keep the windows open all the time. Have anyone else experienced such symptoms while living in water based board heating systems? why is this difference between these two types of heating?
It sounds like your smoke detector is NOT hooked up to the AC power lines, and the battery is going dead, as others have suggested. You can check that by turning off the main power switch. If you had the ceiling finished by someone else, maybe they will remember where the smoke detector is located. You could just put up with the beeping until it stops - after the battery has completely died - which is what I would do. Or you could buy a cheap stethoscope and go around your basement listening to the ceiling in order to locate it.
I just got my horse at the beginning of January and have spent around $6000-$7000 so far ($2800 was for the horse shipping it to me). In addition to the horse, I have bought: Saddle (new but on sale for half price) 2 Bridles (1 for really cheap on for dressage, the other new for jumping both came with reins) 2 Bits - decent quality snaffles Saddle pads Breast plate (she has a weird body and the saddle slides back without it) Stirrup leathers Stirrup irons Girth Lunge line Lunge whip Side reins (not needed depending on what you are doing) Grooming supplies 2 Halters (always like to have a spare, just in case) 2 leads Helmet Boots Still need to buy: Dressage saddle Fly sheet (for when the sun gets worse-she's a grey) Winter blanket (I have been using a spare from the stable) Farrier bills (should be in a couple of weeks) Vet bills (regular visits and any emergencies that arrive) Insurance Probably a lot of other things Also: Board every month. You have a good rate, but hay/grain is not included for the price so you will have to calculate that in. I think hay is $150-$200 a month right now. I'm not sure about grain. (I have full board so I don't need to worry about that)
What (You don't say if you're using Castin' Craft epoxy resin, or Castin' Craft polyester resin and that could matter too both are covered on the page above though.) HTH, Diane B.
