My wifey Sam & I just straight lucked out.
And it seems remarkable that almost identical circumstances happened to both of us within months of each other. Both Sam and I have spent over 30 years working in the commercial Heating & Air Conditioning or our respective companies. These were the 1st jobs Sam and I had when my friend and I were straight out of school. That’s where Sam and I met as she and I were both in the same field of study. And Sam friend and I work in the same industry however for peculiar corporations. Sam and I were both pretty much maxed out in our works. Sam and I both had offices with amazing views & our own temperature control. The salary was also at the higher end of what my friend and I could make. I feel both of our companies wanted to detach these salaries from the payroll by offering early retirement. But what are the openings that we’d both get offered early retirement within three months of one another. It was uncanny. Sam and I bolted for the south & bought this house. The idea was to open up the entire back half of the home with added on space. It turned out appealingly & Sam and I have some additional residential Heating & Air Conditioning out there as well. The Heating & Air Conditioning team installed a pair of ductless heat pumps. The space almost doubles the amount of square footage. I thought perhaps Sam and I could run additional ductwork out there however that would have overwhelmed our central a/c unit. Still though, I’m amazed that the ductless mini splits provide the level of quality heating & air that they do. We’ve been enjoying our retirement so far & don’t miss work or harsh Winters one bit.
