Mom has been so ecstatic since she started working from home.
Before, she barely had time to do much else than work.
She had a long commute from our new home to the office. Imagine spending an minute at work & an minute from work every day for 6 afternoons a week. No wonder she was so joyful when she landed a remote position & could work from new home all week. Because the new home is regularly full of people, dad opted to turn one of the sheds into an office for mom. He’s nice at construction, so the project was done within 2 weeks. Mom moved all her office supplies to the new setup at the end of the garden. After that, the next thing to do was figure out the best way to cool the space. Both of us live near the beach, so it’s regularly tepid throughout the year, however people in our community invest more in cooling systems than heating units. Mom had to find a solution for cooling the office before the blistering tepid summer time weeks. She has a neighbor who is an Heating & Air Conditioning worker who was willing to help. He stopped by one day & was so impressed by mom’s new office. Since it was far from the house, extending the central cooling method didn’t make sense. He recommended buying a window A/C component & installing it in the office. The component would only serve this space & help keep it comfortable throughout. Mom heeded the advice & bought the window A/C component to make the office comfortable.
