This residence is almost like a member of the family.
That is a pretty crazy thing to say and I definitely understand that a residence is not a sentient being in the least.
However, from the time we moved in, I have felt basically like it is more than just an arena to be living at. We’ve seen a huge amount over all of these years. Our kids growing up to be fine young adults is a single one of the most pleasant memories. And our residence along with the HVAC machine regularly kept us safe and comfortable. The residence was built in the late 50’s and the structure and design are easily of the highest quality. It will still be taking care of families long after we’re gone from this place. It has been changed a bit of course. The HVAC machine was an upgrade that was put in while we were in the early 70’s. We replaced the heating & cooling machine component when the people I was with and I bought it roughly 20 years ago. And the people I was with and I are now replacing that HVAC machine. It’s time and the people I was with and I knew it was coming pretty quickly. The HVAC tech was able to give us a heads up so the people I was with and I could plan and save for the eventual replacement. However, when the people I was with and I had the HVAC supplier come out for the first inspection and consultation, the people I was with and I got some truly unexpected news. The HVAC supplier told us that the ductwork was too seasoned and too narrow to support today’s HVAC machine models. That meant that the people I was with and I would be required to replace the ductwork system altogether. Happily, it’s quite accessible due to it having been put in after the original construction.
