This is a first.
I’m actually sort of excited for the coming Summer.
I’m not super stoked about the fact that I’ll have to spend far more time inside the air conditioning because of the heat. That’s just the way it goes in this region. Summer is my least favorite time of year because I love being able to get outside whenever I can. For 8 months of the year, I get to leave the commercial HVAC of my office to have a glorious hour outside with no air conditioning. Eating my lunch in the nearby park is such a wonderful part of my life. But the Summer robs me of that time because it feels like I’m eating lunch in sauna with a sunroof. I have to eat inside the commercial HVAC of the office in the breakroom or at my desk. The same goes for when I’m off. I’d much rather be out hiking, biking, walking, playing or doing just about anything outside than be inside the central air conditioning of my home. Yet again, I have to dial back my activities in order to not fall out from heat stroke during the sizzling Summer. But I just did something this Spring that will at least give me a great start to Summer because I now have a space to do stuff. And it has air conditioning. I’m talking about the fact that I had the HVAC company install a ductless heat pump inside our garage. Prior to calling the HVAC professionals though, I had a lot of work to do. The garage had become a junk pile and it needed some attention. Once I got it the way I wanted it, I realized this would be a great place to do thing inside that I would normally do outside. So now, I have a golf net in the garage alone with an elliptical machine. I can pound golf balls or get my cardio in all while I’m getting the cooling comfort coming from the ductless heat pump.
