The HVAC just wasn’t safe from my old man
Sure enough, I got that phone call last week and got over there just in time to stop him from making a huge mistake
It’s weird for me to have my parents living just around the corner. But it’s weird in a good way. I love my folks and they’ve been nothing but wonderful to me my entire life. But it’s been a long time since we lived in the same town much less right around the corner from each other. In fact, I haven’t lived this close to my parents since I went to college. But they were awesome and raised me in a house with great central air conditioning and many other amenities. So it’s an honor to return the favor these days and kind of help them out as they’re now in their late seventies. My mom and dad just couldn’t handle a big house up north anymore. The winter was too intense and they were sick of paying to have a gas furnace run night and day. So I convinced them to move down south near us. And it’s been an adventure so far. They’ve only been here about eight months after I found them a condo they can afford on a golf course. My dad loves to get outside and swing the golf clubs even if he’s not real good anymore. But he’s also a real stubborn guy that likes to be very independent. He also just didn’t trust the heat pump that came with the condo. And I knew eventually, I was going to get a phone call from my mom that he was tearing into the residential HVAC. Sure enough, I got that phone call last week and got over there just in time to stop him from making a huge mistake. All it took was me reading the HVAC warranty aloud to him. Once he heard that he would void the warranty, he packed up his tools.
