When we were first looking at the house that is now our family home, my wife and I both noticed the same detail.
But we found that detail independently of one another.
My wife was the first one to find this house. She actually called me inside the commercial HVAC of the office a bit breathless with the news that she thought she’d found our new home. I hadn’t heard her like this before so I was for sure intrigued. A few days later, I left that commercial HVAC at lunch to check out this place my wife and loved. And that’s when I too was struck by the fact that there was a finished attic in this house. Yet, it was crammed with boxes of stuff just like most attics. Anyway, we put in an offer the next day but it took us nearly 20 years to do something with that finished attic. This all came about due to the pandemic and me not being able to find a place to work. My wife was working remotely from home and our teenage children were also schooling remotely. We were all stuck inside the central air conditioning together. But like musical chairs, I didn’t have a place to sit and work. That’s when it dawned on me what a great place the attic would be for a work space. So I had the HVAC company come out to install a ductless heat pump so I had so residential HVAC up there. That space has been a godsend for me and I just love having the ability to go upstairs and relax with a book and plenty of quiet. I’m back inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office now but that attic space is still such a valuable and quiet space for me.
