Sometimes I think that summer isn&rsquo;t long enough for me to accomplish all that&rsquo;s needed, especially when I throw in all the &ldquo;fun&rdquo; things that I want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s right, I have a pretty hefty list of recreational activities on the docket. You know what they say about &ldquo;all work and no play&rdquo;. B-O-R-I-N-G. Ideally, I&rsquo;d like to plan things out so that I get a day of fun for every day that I spend doing chores. Every afternoon that I spend replacing or repairing sprinklers should be compensated with an afternoon at the lake. Makes sense to me. I guess you could say that I&rsquo;m committed to an equal opportunity summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dry, warm weather of summer also lends itself to construction activities. If you&rsquo;re a homeowner, I&rsquo;m sure you&rsquo;ve discovered the never-ending list of maintenance and small construction upgrade projects too. (It&rsquo;s in the top drawer in the kitchen cubby, underneath the mortgage payment notices and insurance forms.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, most home upgrade or maintenance projects are mundane tasks that I just don&rsquo;t get too excited about. Sure, I&rsquo;d rather be kayaking or vacationing in Italy, but nope, I&rsquo;m a responsible homeowner. I also understand the importance of keeping the illusion alive that my wife married a responsible man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warmzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Italy-2018-vern5254-md96-2.jpg\" alt=\"Vernazza Italy\" class=\"wp-image-6863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.warmzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Italy-2018-vern5254-md96-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.warmzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Italy-2018-vern5254-md96-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>As far as summer activities go, I&rsquo;m not sure how to top a trip to Italy&rsquo;s Cinque Terre (Vernazza shown).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This year I may have a job that I&rsquo;m a little more excited about. It&rsquo;s a substantial home improvement project, but that only enhances the excitement for me. I&rsquo;m happy to say that my wife and I have decided to install a <strong><a title=\"About driveway heating systems.\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/about-heated-driveways\/\">heated driveway<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve endured many years of shoveling our walks and driveway &ndash; at all sorts of hours. I&rsquo;ve been out there clearing the snow at 5 o&rsquo;clock in the morning as well as 9 o&rsquo;clock at night. I&rsquo;ve paid my shoveling dues. If there were such a thing, I know I&rsquo;d qualify for the prestigious 1,000-hour gold shovel award. The problem is, sometimes after I shovel and salt, I still manage to miss that one tiny spot that my wife&rsquo;s foot always finds. Let me tell ya, high heels and ice make for a disastrous combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the insurance covered most of the medical costs. Too bad it didn&rsquo;t address any compensation for the emotional trauma and mental stress. Yes, I was traumatized and stressed from my wife&rsquo;s verbal reprimands. I tried to not take it personal. Instead, I chalked it up to the colorful ramblings of someone in extreme pain. You can hardly even notice her limp nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><a title=\"Radiant heated driveway in action.\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/heated-driveway\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warmzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/heated-paver-driveway-96sm0548.gif\" alt=\"Heated paver driveway\" class=\"wp-image-4674\" style=\"width:798px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> <em>A radiant heated driveway after a snowstorm.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, my aging back has slowly been urging me to look into getting one of those fancy <strong><a title=\"Radiant driveway heating solutions.\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/\">radiant heated driveways<\/a><\/strong>. I guess what pushed me over the edge was when my wife went down. Now, being the responsible husband that I am, I&rsquo;m taking action. An <strong><a title=\"Automated heated driveways and how they work.\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/automated-heated-driveways\/\">automated heated driveway<\/a><\/strong> would not only keep the entire driveway clear of snow and ice 24\/7, it also dries the surface after a storm, so there&rsquo;s no chance the melted snow will refreeze. Regardless of the storm, or the time of day, our driveway will be clear and safe. I&rsquo;m such a responsible husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most of my other summer chores, I&rsquo;m not waiting until fall to start this project. Installing the heated driveway now is a smart move. I don&rsquo;t have to worry about the frantic seasonal push to complete the work before winter hits. The heated driveway will be ready well before the first snow falls. Man, I&rsquo;m such a responsible husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, dealing with <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_ce0e1f1fead9edc4e49614c5bc4b15ba\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Warmzone<\/span> makes the process of <strong><a title=\"Driveway heating system installation tips.\" href=\"\/radiant-heat-resources\/installation-tips\/heated-driveway-install\/\">installing a heated driveway<\/a><\/strong> easy.
