I have to say that being a first time homeowner is maybe the biggest deal of my life so far.
I agree that it was a really giant deal to get through school plus grad school.
That meant lots of time in the silent tombs of the library where you could only hear the quiet hiss of the a/c coming on; Getting my degree was a giant deal. So I was joining my colleagues inside the zone controlled Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C of the office where I started my first real job. All of those things were giant milestones in my development as a person. But I must say that being a homeowner is a whole other creature. This might have to do with the fact that it took me a dozen years of saving, planning plus searching to find this home. That’s a lot longer than it took me to get my degree. But trying to buy a cabin solo is about the toughest task that I’ve confronted thus far in being a grown-up. Finally, I’m out of the apartments plus am in a cabin with my own heating plus cooling equipment. This was such a giant thing for me. I just didn’t like the fact that I was always dealing with a Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit that was way past its prime. But that’s what you get inside most apartment buildings. And I wasn’t going for the high end on rent so I could save for a downpayment. Just having a more current residential Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C is such a game changer for me. The cabin that I obtained had a central a/c that was completely shot. That meant either ripping out all the old ductwork plus starting over or going with a different residential Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C method. I chose to get the ductless multi split system plus I couldn’t be happier with my final choice.
