When the pandemic hit, I was forced to pack up our belongings at the office and move everything into our lake house to labor for an unknown amount of time.
My husbandy’s job made his do the same, which sent our household into a chaotic mess.
For 2 weeks, the two of us worked from our home office table as best as both of us could. There were PCs, printers, tangled cords, and papers everywhere. However, when there was no sign of the pandemic easing up, our husbandy and I decided to make a few changes. My husbandy continued to labor from the home office, and I decided to move our labor space to the basement. We had 300 square feet of finished basement, which was currently housing our washer and dryer. The only problem was that this space wasn’t affixed to our central HVAC system. In order to make our labor space comfortable, I called the local HVAC corporation and asked about installing a ductless mini split system. They had one on sale, so I obtained it that day and had someone come install it the following afternoon. The HVAC professional assured myself and others that it would heat and cool our office space evenly, while keeping our energy bills low. I wouldn’t be relying on our central HVAC plan to heat and cool, and the ductless mini plan would only heat and cool when I needed it. Because the basement was so small, it wouldn’t take long to heat and cool, making our workspace much more comfortable.
