It’s not all that easy being a parent. Just ask my wife. When we started our family, we thought we wanted a really big family with like 8 kids. Thankfully, we stopped at four. And still, with four kids, there isn’t a ton of time to just soak up the air conditioning in the quiet. The ironic thing about that is both my wife and I are really quiet people. This is one of the reasons we’ve been so compatible. And actually, this is how we met. Instead of partying through college, I found my way to the library and a favorite corner that got good air conditioning. My wife was the same way and we sort of ended up as partners right from the jump. So having a house full of girls of all things, is certainly an added twist to our lives. When the pandemic started, we all actually did pretty well when it came to respecting each other. We had to share the heating and cooling of our home for over a year. My wife and I were working from home and the kids were schooling online. Still, I found that I really needed a place to just take a breath and be alone. So I had the HVAC company install a ductless heat pump inside the finished attic. It was the perfect spot where I could just slip away for some high quality HVAC cooling and some quiet for just me and my thoughts. The attic and the ductless HVAC are still making that part of the house my happy space even as we are finding the new normal these days. And man, am I ever grateful for that.
