I do a lot of things around the house that I bought a few years ago.
I don’t have much for family besides my parents and my grandmother.
My parents live a few hundred miles away and my grandmother up till a few months ago wasn’t able to live on her own anymore. She didn’t want to go into a nursing home and she wanted to be close to the family that she still had locally. So I decided to step up and gave her one of my bedrooms. It’s not a big deal, I have three bedrooms and two of them are completely empty before she moved in. Her bedroom is on the first floor which is good for her. Walking up the stairs would be a chore for her. I’m also happy that I have two full bathrooms in this house or that would be a struggle. Last week I got in contact with the HVAC company and they sent out a heating tech. I wanted to install heated floors for the house because frankly, I hate the cold. I especially hate my feet being cold. They installed them and my grandmother wasn’t happy at all with the installation. She is very old school and having heated floors felt wrong to her. I know she is a traditionalist and she doesn’t like change that often, but this is a great add-on to the house. She had some fits about it but after a few months when temperatures started to drop, her complaints turned into smiles. She went from hating to loving the heated floors. Sometimes it takes a little time for someone to enjoy a change but when they do like my grandmother, it is worth it.
