Recently, my sister Casey unexpectedly lost her job & needed to transport out of her apartment. When I found out that she was heading for some hard times, I did not hesitate for her to come & live with myself and others until she could figure things out. I live by myself, & I have an extra room in my home, so it would be no complication for Casey to transport in. I helped her pack up her condo & all of us placed most of her stuff in storage, & all of us used some of my garage space to store the remainder of her stuff. She has now been living with myself and others for close to a year now. It’s been great, but all of us ran into 1 issue. In the Winter weeks, I don’t use the heat unless the temperature drops below 40 degrees outside. I live in a state where all of us get mostly mild Winters, so I barely turn on my heat. Plus, I can’t sleep with the heat at evening because it makes it hard for myself and others to breathe, & it’s consistently too moderate no matter what temperature I choose. On the other hand, my sister prefers using the heat in the Winter. In fact, she prefers the thermostat set to 75 degrees, which is way too moderate for myself and others even while in the day. Well, all of us had to come up with a solution to our problem, & it was 1 of 2 things. I could have installed a smart thermostat so that all of us could each program our rooms to the ideal temperature, or all of us could purchase a space gas furnace for Casey’s room. The people I was with and I chose the latter, which was the easiest solution to the issue.
