About a year ago, or maybe a bit more, our sibling bought a big house.
It is absolutely huge, & I don’t absolutely understand why he would choose to get such a gigantic loft when he is getting older & living alone.
One area of the purchase I absolutely do understand, though, & that is the backyard swimming pool. The pool is so gorgeous, & I would totally love to have a pool of our own. Of course, that would mean I would have to pay someone to take care of it because I just don’t have the strength & fortitude to do that kind of thing anymore. Anyway, he is now trying to decide if he should get a pool heater. It is November, & he lives a bit farther north than I do, so he absolutely does have a winter. He wants to swim every single afternoon, & last winter, he felt appreciate the pool was air conditioned rather than just wet! He is so absurd. He asked our opinion on whether he should get a furnace or not, & I absolutely believe he should. He enjoys cooler water, however not that cold! I advise he bring in an Heating & Air Conditioning guy or whatever & see if he can link the furnace to the heating plan in the house. If that isn’t possible, I believe 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 cash on his utilities, right? I figure if you are going to have a pool, you ought to be able to use it, & if that means a furnace upgrade is in his future, so be it.
