I was about to experience a rude awakening because it had been a while since I had lived in the country.
I was one of those kids who always wanted to leave the neighborhood where I grew up.
It was a predominantly agricultural community with sizable dairy farms, so raising crops to meet the community’s needs for grains and milk dominated daily life. When I was younger, I enjoyed working on the farm with my parents, grandparents, and other family members. Teenage years, on the other hand, were accompanied by makeup and a desire to live in the city among the flashing lights. I therefore took care to select a distant university and only occasionally returned to the farm. After 16 years, I was sick of the chaos of city life and yearned for the peace of a rural home. I decided to leave my uptown cabin when the pandemic struck and look for a farm with a house and about 10 acres of land. Instead of returning home, I went to a strange state where I discovered the precise space. The only problem was that this house needed to be upgraded. The heating and cooling system in the farmhouse was essentially nonexistent, so I had to take care of it. The previous owners relied on a big wood stove in the winter and a window air conditioner in the summer. But I wanted a little bit of modernity, so I decided to install an AC and a boiler in my house. I found a local plumbing and heating company that offered both plumbing and heating and air conditioning to be ideal for all the upgrade tasks.
