Living in the country is something that I knew I would always do. I just love the country, and I could not imagine myself living in the city where there are people everywhere. I know that there are many benefits to living in the city such as being close to stores and necessities. Where I live now, I am about forty minutes away from the closest grocery store and gas station. To me, the benefits of living in the country outweigh the troubles that come along with it. I have noticed that since I moved out to the house that I am in now, my air conditioner has to be cleaned much more often. I have to clean my air conditioner about three times a month. I only cleaned my air conditioner about one time a year when I lived in my first house. I have a complete dirt driveway now, so I think that has added to the dirt that gets into my house. I noticed that my air conditioner stops blowing out cool air like it is supposed to about every week and a half. I take out the filter and clean it along with the rest of the air conditioner. I find that the air conditioner is filled with dirt and dust. It is quite a pain to keep up with it, but it is worth it. Once I clean out the air conditioner, it works so much better. It blows cold air, and the house stays cool once again. Even though it can be a pain, cleaning my air conditioner is a must.
