There’s a sustained peace inside the central air conditioning of our house that I’m still getting accustomed to.
At first, I was thinking that the newfound peace would yield to more of the same sibling squabbles.
But it’s been a couple of months since we added space and HVAC equipment to the house. And still, we have relative calm and tranquility in our home. That sure wasn’t the case for the last few years. Our last child was sort of a whoops baby. When we got married and bought this house, it was only going to be two kids. But our youngest daughter came right after our middle son. So our oldest daughter ended sharing a room with the baby. It wasn’t bad at all at first as our oldest in only four and half years older. But once she got into middle school, there was no peace in the valley at all. The girls just were at each other all the time. For sure, we needed more room but buying a new house was pretty much out of the question. So we chose to add on. It made more sense to put more value into our house while also making sure that all the kids had their own room. After talking with a realtor friend of ours, it was clear that a very nice master suite would be the best added value for our home. That sure didn’t hurt our feelings either. Plus, we really like having the ductless heat pump in our new bedroom as well. Now, we can enjoy whatever level of quality heating and air that we want while enjoying some wonderful privacy.
