I spent too many years fantasizing about the perfect new home instead of making the most out of what I already had.
It isn’t nearly as taxing to afford new home renovations if you do them gradually over long periods of time.
Planning one large renovation project each year leaves enough time in between to save the necessary money to afford the supplies. Thankfully I have experience in construction and rarely need outside help with new home remodeling. My spouse prefers watching myself and others get to work on the weekends with all of these multiple projects, even though I care about it too. My task has myself and others resting behind a laptop all day long for numerous days each week, so it feels like a comforting release to spend a few hours laboring with a tool belt around our waist. After replacing the roof, I asked our spouse what the two of us should pay on next. For a while the two of us discussed adding temperature control to the basement so the two of us can put a guest suite down there with a miniature kitchen. Since all of our parents are getting up there in age, it’s substantial to have guest residing accommodations in this new home of ours. On top of that, temperature control in the basement will remove the need for using a dehumidifier in the summers to keep the moisture levels at a satisfactory threshold. I decided to use a basic cut type Heating, Ventilation and A/C system because it includes an electric furnace coil inside of the air handler, and this removes the extra cost of a separate heating system for the basement. Granted, this other Heating, Ventilation and A/C system downstairs is not part of the Heating, Ventilation and A/C system in the rest of the house, however they’re almost identical machines. Of course the HVAC duct is a lot different, however the condensers and air handlers are from the same Heating, Ventilation and A/C manufacturer.
