I love going to work in the winter.
And that’s probably unusual for most folks who work out in the elements like I do.
That’s because the word winter normally suggests freezing temperatures, snow and ice. If that was the case, I’d never leave the inside of my house and just pour on the heating from the gas furnace. But where I live, the winter is the perfect time of year to be doing what I do for a living. My business is to transform commercial property with landscaping. That requires me being mostly onsite and out in the elements. So it makes me a bid sad to see February coming to an end in a few weeks. While we have such a lovely spring in this region, the temperatures rise and the need for air conditioning returns. But June, it’s not a whole lot of fun to be outside working. In fact, I’m onsite at dawn during the summer in order to get as much work in as possible before the peak heating hours of the day. After about 2pm, I cut my laborers loose and head for the air conditioning of my office. However, it’s the central air conditioning of my home that really makes the difference. My office is little more than a sort of shed on the side of the storage building where I keep all my equipment. But at home, I have the best residential HVAC I can get. The smart thermostat knows my patterns so I walk into the best cooling comfort I could ever ask for at the end of my day.
