I’ll never forget the sense of wonder and pleasure I experienced when I first learned to read as a child.
Suddenly, stories that seemed distant and unreachable were in the palms of my hands.
I scoured the library at my school for adventure and mystery stories, never coming up short with something to interest my growing mind. I dreamed of someday owning my own private library with stacks of books in every foreseeable direction. I never wanted a wine cellar or a home theater like a number of my coworkers have. When I reached 36 and had an unexpected promotion at work, I set out to turn the spare room in my house into a private home library. I built large wooden shelves to hold the endless array of books that I had stored neatly in large sterilite tubs. But I soon realized I had more variables to account for if I didn’t want to ruin some of my prized books. I have had humidity issues in my house for as long as I can remember, so the air is often wet and sticky, even with the a/c running in the house. This does not bode well for books or anything made from paper or wood for that matter. The last thing you want to do is pull a book from a shelf and find black mold splotches on random pages throughout. Not only is it a health hazard, it’s also a needless risk regarding a personal investment. Therefore, I set out to find the best offer on a ductless mini split heating and air conditioning system that was available in my immediate area. I wanted something stronger, more efficient, and significantly quieter than a portable a/c or window mounted unit.
