I can always count on life to throw me a curve that reminds of just how totally temporary all of this easily is.
I have been knocked down plenty starting when I was just a kid, but I had some good parents who always helped me get back up and keep trying.
But I would not call myself exactly lucky. Fortunately, the beach will be coming home to our own central air conditioner when I finish work. But for me, I’m increasing to living in our parent’s basement, but this was the result of sizable school loans and a legitimately low paying, entry level job. I just couldn’t make our cash reserves stretch far enough to pay for an apartment; and it wasn’t all that much of another home with all the terrible HVAC and loud neighbors, and plus the place was not in a good section of town. I even tried to bring in a roommate. But even that would not help our budget. Thankfully, our parents have always been out there supporting me. They provided me the basement and our dad and I went about making it a good place to live. The very first thing we did was to install a ductless heat pump. There are no HVAC vents in the basement so I had to have some sort of residential HVAC. I was shocked that Dad and I were able to install the ductless heat pump ourselves. But it was easily not all that tough. I easily love the good quality heating and air that I get from the ductless heat pumps. It’s so nice to have a good place to land that also comes with good residential HVAC.
