This whole process of selling our family home and entering a new chapter in this life has been nothing short of exhilarating and exhausting.
Finally, we are in a rented condo that is maybe a third of the space that we occupied in our family home.
But that was by design. However, I’m not at all pleased with the quality heating and air or lack there of. I guess I sort of conveniently forgot just how unreliable and inconsistent residential HVAC inside and an apartment can be. This was just the same way when I was a young man just out of college and had my first apartment. The HVAC in our condo is pretty much always breaking down. And I have yet to see an HVAC professional out here actually fixing anything. Instead, when I call the rental office to complain that there’s no more air conditioning yet again, I get the same handyman knocking on the door. I’m not calling this guy out because all he’s doing is doing his job. But it’s never really fixed. I even called the rental office and offered to have the HVAC professionals come out here and I would pay the difference. But they weren’t biting and pretty much forbid me to do it behind their backs. So I guess after all the frustration and energy expended to get moved into this smaller space comes with a speed bump. I was hoping to just relax for a year or so at least. But with HVAC situation as it is, my wife and I are just super motivated to find our house for the future a whole lot sooner.
