About a year ago, or maybe a bit more, my sibling bought a immense house.
It is truly immense, and I don’t truly understand why he would choose to get such a gigantic house when he is getting older and living alone.
One area of the purchase I easily do understand, though, and that is the backyard swimming pool. The pool is so gorgeous, and I would totally love to have a pool of my own. Of course, that would mean I would have to spend money someone to take care of it because I just don’t have the strength and fortitude to do that kind of thing anymore. Anyway, he is now trying to decide if he should get a pool heater. It is October, and he lives a bit farther north than I do, so he truly does have a winter. He wants to swim every single afternoon, and last winter, he felt like the pool was air conditioned rather than just wet! He is so absurd. He asked my opinion on whether he should get a furnace or not, and I unquestionably think he should. He enjoys cooler water, however not that cold! I request he bring in an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C guy or whatever and see if he can connect the furnace to the furnace in the house. If that isn’t possible, I think he ought to strongly consider solar heating. I mean, even if it can’t be used all the time, surely solar heating will save him currency on his utilities, right? I figure if you are going to have a pool, you ought to be able to use it, and if that means a furnace installation is in his future, so be it.
