Making room for HVAC cooling now that we’re getting older
It still catches me off guard when I think about how long we’ve lived in this place.
It’s going on forty years and we still love it.
See, I’ve always kept it simple, that’s the way we like to live. I worked the same job for 40 years and I’m recently retired. Part of my retirement gift from my wife was adding central air conditioning to our home. Of course she said it to me, but I know it’s for her. For the last few years she’s been complaining about the heat of summer. The window air conditioner that I traditionally put in the living room each summer just wasn’t getting it done for her. Personally, I’ve never felt the need for air conditioning. We live just about as far north as you can and still be inside this country. So when it comes to HVAC, it’s all about the heating where we live. I could care less about air conditioning because the summer is generally so pleasant here. And if there is a hot streak, I was fine with the old air conditioner in the window. Yet, I have to admit that this new central air conditioning system is really quite pleasant. It’s so nice to sit inside and have the temperature be so cool and crisp. And of course, I want to make my wife happy and she loves to be able to have HVAC cooling without a window air conditioner. Really, for as long as I live, I’ll do just about anything to make that dear lady happy. So if she wants central air conditioning, so be it.
