When I last heard from my brother, he was having a financial crisis.

He lost his job during the pandemic and was indoors for quite some time.

During this self-quarantine period, he started a small business from his apartment. My brother opted to sink about 90% of his savings into the new business venture. The last time we spoke, he wasn’t sure if it would make it. He said business was slow, and he was scared he’d lose all his money. But, he called with great news last week that he was doing better. My brother’s business picked up and even changed his home’s air conditioning system. During summer, he would suffer a lot because he had an old AC. My brother had been planning to change the AC unit, but he put those plans on the back burner after losing his job. Now that he has an influx of cash, he thought it was better to change the unit. Instead of replacing the old AC with a similar cooling unit, he opted to get a heat pump. My brother had been researching for some time and concluded heat pumps were better. They cost more when it comes to purchasing and installation prices, but the overall service is great. Plus, he could use the heat pump to warm his home during those mildly cold winter evenings and nights. A heat pump is an energy-saving unit that requires minimal electricity to cool or warm a home. I visited him and was quite impressed by how comfortable the house felt with the heat pump.

Cate loves working from home.

Ever since the pandemic hit, she turned one of the bedrooms in her 3-bedroom home into an office space.

The other was for her 6-year-old daughter. They’ve lived in this home for 5 years and love the amazing neighborhood. Cate relocated to this area after her divorce to be closer to her best friend. She had insisted she bought this house and wasn’t taking no for an answer. Cate’s friend had been there for her during a tough time, and now they were closer than ever. The house was in good condition, and Cate was lucky the previous owner had installed a new furnace and an air conditioner. A few weeks before winter last year, Cate was preoccupied with work that she forgot to have an HVAC expert come over to her home. During one cold fall evening, she turned on the furnace to warm the house. At first, the furnace began blowing warm air into the 3 bedroom home. But, later, it started blowing cool air and had Cate puzzled. Upon speaking with her friend about this issue, cate realized she hadn’t phoned the HVAC company for the annual fall tune-up. Having the furnace checked out is important before turning it on when it gets cold. That way, an HVAC expert can replace the dirty air filter and fix any faults in the heating system. Cate hurried to schedule a furnace maintenance appointment and hoped no repairs were needed. She had to layer up and was happy her daughter was away visiting Cate’s mom for the week.

I’ve loved painting since I was 3 years old and started painting with my parents.

They both worked office jobs, but the weekends were spent painting.

We’d paint in a shed behind the house or go to galleries to see different artwork. I visited art galleries and museums across the country in high school, thanks to my parents. Later, I joined an art school abroad and landed a great job. But, after some time living away from home, I decided to quit my job and return. I was homesick, and my parents were happy to have me back home. After settling in, I felt the urge to paint again, so dad fixed an old shed for me to become my art space. Once the upgrades were done, we had to figure out the right way to cool and heat this space. It was further away from the main house, so adding the space to the central heating and cooling was out of the question. Dad spoke to his friend, an HVAC professional, and he recommended buying a mini-split system. He explained that this was a ductless HVAC system that could work in this smaller space. All dad had to do was install it, and I could use it to cool or heat the art shed at any time. Dad researched mini-split a week later and had one shipped to the house. He’s good with his hands, so it didn’t take my dad long to install the mini-split AC. Soon I was enjoying my new art space, and even mom came to paint with me when she wasn’t at work.

The corporation logo is a toilet. I promised my partner that I would do everything I could to be helpful plus supportive plus he reminded me of this promise when I objected to driving my vehicle with a toilet on the back! He told me that it would double our advertising however for free. I surely could not say no after he presented me with the logistics.

It unquestionably has increased our advertising plus the two of us have plenty of people that contact the corporation because they saw my vehicle plus not the work truck.
