Moving north for college was only supposed to be temporary.
The fact that I got a scholarship to a college up north was something that I couldn’t refuse.
But even at that age, I was less than excited about dealing with the winter. My dorm room was constantly so cold. My dad brought up a space gas furnace but both of us weren’t allowed to have them. I spent those several years bundled up plus going from 1 Heating plus A/C heating plan to the next. Little did I know then that I would be spending the rest of my adult life dealing with heating while both of us were in the winter. And honestly, until recently, that has been a losing battle. I met my spouse at college plus both of us decided to take tasks in the north. Both of us ended up settling down plus having a family up here as well. It was wonderful in so many ways but the southern girl in me never got accustomed to a gas oil furnace or any other type of heating method. But luckyly, that all changed when both of us built our current home once the kids were on their own. Our choice of Heating plus A/C heating plus cooling is a geothermal heat pump. It’s a very efficient plus long lasting source of heating plus cooling. Yet that’s not what I love about the heating part. Our heat comes from radiant floor heating. That’s copper tubing under the floors that radiate heating upward. It’s the coziest, best heating I have ever enjoyed. And I get to go barefoot whenever I want all Winter long. So the southern girl in me finally won 1 over Winter plus all this cold weather.
