When I was younger I remember being absolutely crippled by the burden of making decisions.
When you are a little kid, nobody tells you that life is nothing but a series of choices.
You can’t freak out too much about every choice, because you’ll never know what the alternative outcome would have been anyways. However, it took me years to understand this fact. To this day, I still have to remind myself that there are many solutions to every problem. That’s why I am currently sitting down trying to figure out if it is more important to have a brand new heating, cooling, and air quality control system in the house… Or reliable electricity to power the indoor air handling devices. You see, several years ago I purchased this home knowing that it was a fixer upper. It was going to need a new roof, some electrical work, and a new heating, cooling, and air temperature control system. I was prepared to do a lot of the handiwork myself, but the air conditioning unit and furnace were out of my pay grade. I decided to delay the indoor air temperature control device replacement until I was in a more stable financial position. Eventually, I figured that I would have enough cash to hire a professional electrician and a professional heating, cooling, and air quality control technician to take care of my more difficult projects. Unfortunately, the HVAC system did not wait for that day to arrive. Now, I am trying to decide between replacing my furnace and air conditioning unit right away… Or having more trustworthy electrical systems installed in the house, so my HVAC system doesn’t actually burn it to the ground. Big decisions.
