All of us didn’t have a lot of currency when Mike and I got married, but all of us were both in school and struggling to start our current family.
That is why we rented a converted garage in a bad town for our first year together, and of course this rental wasn’t town approved or anything however the rent was affordable, it had its own little toilet and shower however no washroom sink.
It did, but, have a little home office sink with cottageets and a tiny refrigerator. The walls had faux wood paneling from the 70s and the entire floor (home office, home office and washroom) all had the same yellow linoleum. It wasn’t bad however it wasn’t wonderful either. However, the rental had no heating or air conditioning. It also only had 1 window. All of us were gifted a portable cooling system as a wedding present when we got married. However, when Wintertide came, we were not comfortable. All of us saved up a buy one space furnace online. Well the space furnace didn’t work well at all. All of us should have read the details a bit more carefully because it was a space furnace made for camping tents. It was tiny and didn’t work unless you were only a foot in front of it. So we had to make due with that tiny furnace until we could afford a better one. Thankfully the hour space furnace worked genuinely good. It heatsed the home office genuinely well. The home office was still cold so we put the tiny furnace in there. Together they worked pretty well for a few years. Then we got a real apartment with a wall furnace and built in air conditioning.
