These past few months have been hectic.
I have waited while the remodelling on my home is finished before the first November snowfall.
I wanted new showers in both of my bathrooms, but then decided to replace the two sinks, vanities, and countertops as well. For once I was blindsided by good news when my boss surprised me with a considerable raise at the beginning of the remodelling process. This meant that I had much more capital to work with in the investments I was about to make on my house. On the flip side, I think I went too far in one direction and bit off more than I could reasonably chew. When you have workers coming in and out of your house a few times each week for months on end, it starts to get daunting. The best result of having more income through this process meant I could get some of the best home inspectors to comb through every inch of my house to determine what needs to be fixed in the event I sell it in the near or distant future. I had a specific HVAC specialist to inspect and grade the quality of my indoor heating and cooling system. Without him, I might have never learned that my ductwork was exposed in my attic. There was no insulation wrapping the ventilation, nor was the attic insulated either. I quickly realized I had been burning through cash from the sheer degree of energy waste in my current HVAC setup. Switching gears a bit, I decided to install a new air conditioner along with brand new ductwork. All of the work done on my central heating and cooling system was finished after everything else wrapped up. I just barely got it all done in time for winter. It sure feels great knowing I will have a better source of heat this year and all the years to come.
