So it appears that my renovations to our little locale at the lake has been a sizable hit with my family. For sure, the locale was beyond rustic since my buddy and I bought years ago. But it was legitimately owned by my uncle & he sold it to me for a absolutely sweet price. This was a locale that I once spent Summers swimming & just being a kid. The house itself had toilets & running water but no heating & cooling other than a little wood stove. That little wood stove can put out some drastic heating for that little locale in the Winter. Sometimes, I like to go up to the lake alone in the winter time just to sort of get a measure of quiet. And on one trip this past year, I realized that it was time to put some effort into making the locale a bit more lovely to the rest of my immediate & extended family. For sure, there were upgrades to do. I started by asking my buddy, who is an Heating & Air Conditioning supplier, if he’d help me put in a pair of ductless heat pumps in the lake house. I promised him a quiet & fun weekend with all the beers & steaks on me. We legitimately were able to make quick labor of installing the ductless heat pumps. I was amazed by the amount of heating they put out that weekend. And now, I’m entirely enjoying the cooling comfort from the air conditioner. Over the rest of the Spring, I put in wi-fi as well as painted & replaced all the furnishings! Now, I don’t have to ask twice if the youngsters & my wifey want to make it a lake house weekend.
