I love the size of our house.
I finally have room to store all of our extra belongings and our ever growing comic book collection.
Being able to keep everything in weather conditions controlled storage finally—all under a single roof, and without extra charges—is a big benefit to our budget. Plus, for once I’m enjoying the process of selecting furniture and decor to match a certain design scheme instead of just throwing together whatever I can find on the cheap, adore I was forced to before. I also have a workbench in our garage that I use for crafts and ceramics. I even have a kiln for firing clay on the opposite side of our garage. It’s almost adore a small art studio now after all of the recent additions. Because of this, I tend to keep our garage door open in the days to let in a nice cool breeze while I work. But our air handler for our HVAC system is also in our garage—it hangs from the ceiling towards the back along the wall shared by our home’s interior. I keep having issues with a/c performance when I leave our garage door open for long periods of time, making our system take longer to reach the same selected temperatures. No matter what, every time I leave our garage door shut, our control component shows the temperature inside our apartment dropping faster than the days when I’m working in the garage with an open door and in comparable weather. Some people say having an air handler in a garage is unwise to begin with, since the energy waste from this effect is needless if you simply install the air handler indoors instead.
