I am one of those people who tends to freak out about privacy and personal space, generally speaking. I do not like people in my room, looking at my things, or moving any of my items around. I have an issue with controlling my environment and keeping everything exactly where I left it. That being said, I’m trying honestly difficult to let go of some of these anxieties, especially considering how multiple apartment guests my buddy and I have these afternoons. I hardly have any privacy whatsoever, with all the humans rotating through our home. I’ve managed to let go quite a bit, however every so often I’m reminded of my underlying concerns. For instance, last weekend when our in laws stayed over and managed to break our boiler within 2 afternoons. My pal and I were out of town, however allowed them to use our apartment for the weekend. On their way out the door, they thought it would be kind to shut off the heating and cooling system to reduce our energy usage while the apartment was vacant, and little did they know, they would do a lot of Heating & A/C disfigurement with their nice intentions. You see, they are accustomed to living in Florida heat. When they arrived, it was going to be only 60 degrees outside, so I powered up the boiler to a low operating level for extra warmth to keep them comfortable. They clearly didn’t realize that the heat was running, interpreting the slightly cold outdoor air as indoor AC. As such, as they left the house, the temperature control was bumped up to 85 degrees in order to keep the a/c from cycling unnecessarily. Well, flash forward to our arrival apartment 5 afternoons later… The apartment was burning hot, humid, and stagnant inside, and our boiler was a smoldering, inoperable hunk of metal. Our energy bill was through the roof, and my buddy and I have to replace our central heating system. So much for saving us currency.
Quality heating
