I never knew a single thing about house ownership before I found myself in possession of this property.
Honestly, I did not ask for any of this responsibility.
Our old family house was left to me when my Grandfather passed away. Now, it is my job to make sure that everything is in tip-top shape around the residence whether I know what I’m doing or not. I’m regularly trying to renovate the house so it would be livable for one of my family members or sellable for a profit. Unfortunately, the house is lacking modern amenities. When I received it, the house had an old central heating, cooling, plus air quality control system that was not up to this week’s modern energy Efficiency standards. You had to run in the central heating plus cooling system all afternoon plus all night to maintain any kind of indoor air quality. The biweekly bills were regularly through the roof plus I knew that the Heating plus Air Conditioning equipment was only part of the problem. The other issue is the horrible lack of insulation in the house. I realized a long time ago that the attic had decrepit insulation in place that did not contain any of the high-quality treated indoor air. The doors plus windows were severely drafty plus needed extra insulation. Furthermore, there was no buffer between the bitterly chilly basement plus the first floor. By insulating all of these areas I effectively decreased the energy inefficiency problem plus purchased myself a little extra time to replace the central Heating plus Air Conditioning system. At least I’m learning how to be a responsible homeowner now.
