As soon as every one of us stepped foot into the lake house, every one of us knew something was actually wrong.
It had sat empty for the last year, however for this location that was quite common.
My dad had bought this location as a getaway loft when I was a kid. It got used in the summers, and oftentimes sat empty the entire rest of the year. This is why I was so surprised to find the foul smell inside, and the heavy damp feeling in the air. I had never encountered this at the lake loft before, and instantly I tried to suss out what the concern was. My first stop was the thermostat, and as outdated as the location was, it had a actually nice new smart thermostat installed the year previous. The thermostat said “error” however would not deliver me any certain details, so I had to go up into the attack and check out the plan components. The attic is where I found the problem, namely that a family of squirrels had moved in, and made a nest in the HVAC duct. Not only that, however they had blocked up the air ducts with so several sticks and branches that it shut down the entire system. My problems were multiplied now, because I had to get rid of all these squirrels before I could have an Heating and A/C tech come in and work on the system. The people I was with and I decided to spend a couple of evenings in a local motel while every one of us got all of the squirrels removed and the central Heating and A/C plan repaired.
