My partner and I were happy to be moving into the house once the upgrades were complete.
It was a special place for us, and I was happy my grandma left it to us.
When we moved to the city, we made sure to always visit my grandma. She lived alone in the same house she’d been living in since the 80s. Since we were the nearest family, we made sure to pay her a visit at least 5 times in a month. Grandma and my partner were like the best of friends. They’d gossip while he worked on fixing things around the house, and I think this was his way of feeling close to his grandma. When she passed away, his heart broke, but we both knew she was in a better place. Then, the lawyer called saying the house was ours. We were living in an apartment, and chose to move to the house. My partner and I hired a general contractor to handle some upgrades to modernize the house. Then, after we moved in, we had to handle HVAC maintenance. We weren’t sure about the age of the HVAC system, and we also wanted the ductwork inspected. My partner opted to knock at the neighbors and ask if they have contacts to a reliable HVAC business. Luckily, they were willing to help, and my partner got the contacts. We had to hire the HVAC technician for a thorough HVAC inspection in our home. That way, we’d learn the changes to make in the heating and cooling before the extreme weather months.
