I was very happy to get my husband’s blessing to do some renovating at our little place in the woods.
- This place has been in my husband’s family for many generation.
It’s now his as he’s an only child. It’s an awesome place with plenty of space for our family and friends to enjoy. But it really needed some upgrades like residential HVAC, kitchen appliances and a number of other improvements. Initially, my husband was quite against changing anything inside that spot. The cabin was hand built by his ancestors and he did not want to change anything. I could understand that from his point of view. He was now entrusted with taking care of the cabin and the property. So he was very protective when it came to keeping the place as it has always been. Yet, little by little, I talked to him about making changes that would improve our experience. The property is so amazing up there but the accommodations were a bit lacking. I felt like the cabin should reflect the perfection of all the nature we were in the midst of thanks to our weekend getaway. He finally realized what I was talking about and gave me the okay to have at it. The first thing I did was get the HVAC professionals up there. They put in a ductless multi split system to produce the heating and cooling our cabin lacked. There was a wood stove there for generations and of course, that stayed. But having those ductless heat pumps really made a difference right away. It was great to have some quality heating and air in that cabin.
