I’ll never forget the sense of wonder and joy I felt when I first learned to read as a first grader.
Suddenly stories that seemed distant and out of reach were in the palms of my hands.
I scoured the local library for adventure and mystery stories, never coming up short with something new to interest my growing mind each trip back. I dreamed of someday owning a private home library with stacks of books in every foreseeable direction. I never wanted a wine cellar or a pool like some of my coworkers have. When I reached 34 and had an unexpected promotion at work, I set out to turn the guest room in my house into a study and private home library. I built large wooden shelves to house 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 problems in my house for as long as I can remember, so the air is quite often wet and sticky even with the air conditioning 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 some time and find black mold splotches on random pages throughout. Not only is it a health hazard, it is also a needless risk regarding a personal investment. Therefore, I set out to find the best offer on a ductless mini split air conditioner that was available in my immediate area. I wanted something stronger, more efficient, plus significantly quieter than a portable air conditioning or window mounted unit.
