So I was doing my best to simply save as much currency redoing this cabin as I could.
- Paying the mortgage alone kind of forces that upon a person.
Still, I had plenty of help. My sibling and all his meathead friends were more than willing to jump in. Of course I promised to the foot the bill for all the pizza and beer involved. After years of being in home where I would sweat through the Summer heat due to weak HVAC cooling, I was now a homeowner. And I did it on my own which also impresses me since it took me nearly a decade of saving to make the downpayment. I had a morning job although I didn’t come lake cabin to that weak HVAC and hang out. After my real job, I went straight to my side hustle to make extra currency. But all of that has finally paid off. We were getting along on the renovations and were close to ready to have me transport out of the home with the so so heating and cooling. But then, all of us hit a heating and cooling snafu of our own. When the HVAC supplier came out to do the inspection, he found that the ductwork was just shot. So all of us had to pivot as I didn’t have the funds to abruptly rip out and update the entire ductwork. But the HVAC professional came through for me by introducing me to the ductless heat pump. No ductwork necessary, evidently. I now have a ductless multi split and I’m super comfortable with all this quality heating and air.
