I can’t deny that I love being a homeowner.
When I was a young adult and freshly moved into my very apartment, I thought that renting an apartment was the most exciting thing.
After all, I had everything I’d ever wanted: space, the freedom to decorate however I wanted, and even a nice air conditioner to keep me cool during the summer. One thing that I didn’t have, though, was space. I’m the type of person who enjoys pursuing multiple hobbies and little jobs, so in my first apartment, I was always looking for ways to fit all of my little hobbies into my small space. However, now that I’m a homeowner, I have much more space to enjoy! I recently bought my first home, and I feel as though it could fit the size of my tiny apartment at least ten times over. My home was initially missing a distinct work space, though, so I made the decision to turn my garage into a renovated work space. I cleaned it out, added shelving and space for all of my needed equipment, and even bought fans. Once the summer hit, I quickly realized that fans weren’t enough, and gave a much needed call to my HVAC provider. After talking about it for a while, we decided that a ductless mini-split system would be the best fit for my garage (now work studio), and it functions beautifully! I never dreamed that a little garage could have such efficient heating and cooling, especially in a climate as harsh as my own. Thanks to my ductless mini-split system, I can enjoy cool air conditioning in the summer while working all day long, and I didn’t have to have any expensive ducts installed!
