Before I moved out to the country, I used to live in a pretty sweet little suburban home.
It was nice having a lake house that didn’t require a lot of renovation work.
We did a few things that were necessary though. We had a new roof installed on the garage. I genuinely got some friends to help do that project which turned out to be pretty nice. It genuinely was a lot cheaper than what I would have paid the professionals. But of course, I had to help with cleanup and everything. I remember we collected so several nails, it was crazy. I also installed a ductless mini split in the garage. I remember how easy the task was because the garage wall is extremely easy to go through. When I moved to our new lake house in the country, I realized that I was going to have to install a ductless mini split for the entire household. I have never installed a ductless mini split with more than 2 zones before, despite the fact that I didn’t suppose it would be too challenging. The biggest challenge about installing this identifiable Heating, Ventilation and A/C was the fact that I had to drill a 3.5 inch hole through the cinder block. If you have ever tried doing that, you’ll suppose it can be a little bit difficult if you don’t have the official tools required. I simply used our hand drill with a hole saw though, and it got the task done despite the fact that I went through a number of battery charges. You also have to be careful not to drill through the web of cinder blocks as that would make the task a lot more challenging. Happily, I was able to do the work with no real complications, and the house feels perfectly comfortable both in the Wintertide and the summer time now.
