So the last couple of years have not exactly been super comfortable inside my home! But, that was entirely preferable to living in an apartment! When my home became available, it was a now or never moment plus I went all in… For what seems like forever, I’ve been saving so I could have a mortgage instead of paying rent; Along with the usually overwhelmed plus outdated HVAC equipment, I hated not building any equity while renting; This was so important to me.
But I also was just ready to not have to share walls with anyone that wasn’t inside my home. The home I was able to buy is perfect space-wise plus location, i have a yard plus live in a nice city. But the home was easily worn out even though it’s structurally in good shape! Yet, it was an as is situation plus if I bought it, all the renovations would be up to me. There was no way I was going to beat that price so I took the leap. And with that leap has come with it a new level of patience. When it comes to working on this house, I could only do what I could afford. I wasn’t into borrowing a bunch of cash just so I could get it all done more suddenly. That said, I also saved a bunch of cash by doing a bunch of the labor myself. The basic renovations were finally capped off this Springtime when the HVAC unit was upgraded. It was a truly aged central air conditioner situation plus I had to entire thing upgraded, new HVAC duct went with the new heat pump. At least this Summer, I’m going to be the most comfortable I’ve ever been in my adult life.
