So all of my daughters turned up their noses at the idea of having a kitchen in the basement.
This was a bit of a shocker for me.
When I was their age, I would have appreciated to live in the basement. I grew up in a lake house with superb parents who appreciated me. That lake house was a cool locale & had superb central air conditioner. But I’d have jumped at the opportunity to sort of have my own apartment, but perhaps that’s the reason I was so stunned that all of my men thought residing in the basement would be gross. That’s the word I heard a lot. And I’m still trying to reconcile that word with the finished basement in our home. These days though, I’m the one who has finally claimed his basement dream. And the timing has been perfect. With more than three men in the house, there are times when it’s just best for me to slip out of the central air conditioner. Mom’s input can end up creating a pile on effect & nobody needs that, and so I had the HVAC supplier come out to the lake house to put some quality heating & air in my basement. I have to say that I’m completely knocked out by the HVAC technology that produces such superb heating & cooling from such a small package. The ductless heat pump’s comfort inspired me to sort of decorate a bit & put a superb set of speakers down there. When things get unusual upstairs, I slip down here, flip on the ductless heat pump & crank my music.
