I’m not going to lie to you, the past year has been severely stressful for our fiance and I.
We’ve been going through a lot of financial challenges and our own and marriage concerns.
It actually didn’t help when this covid-19 nightmare began and the teenagers were staying condo with us 24/7. We already had a lot of personal tension between us and now there were many extra bodies lounging around the beach house at all times. The teenagers never stop complaining about everything you can imagine, from our TV to the internet to our indoor air quality. Meanwhile, our fiance and I are doing our best just to pay our quarterly utility bills. We actually cannot fathom the idea decreasing our indoor air temperature controls based on the preferences of some snotty children. We also could actually use a split from their constant chatter and abuse of the indoor appliances. As such, I decided it was time to install a basic air conditioning device in the garage. I figured, if the people I was with and I could put some cooling power into another space maybe the teenagers would quiet down and leave us alone. Our garage is rarely ever used, so a straight-forward air conditioning window device should be able to transform the underutilized space into a cool hangout for the teenagers. I found a used AC window device online and installed the cooling system myself in one day. After that, the teenagers were enthusiastic to go hang out in the garage where they can turn the AC device as low as they want. They’ve stopped complaining so much about the indoor air quality and I haven’t had to worry so much about the energy bill. It’s a start.
