When my stepmom was looking for a new home she had her sights set on a palace.
She was determined to have the house of her dreams and that house is quite a handful.
Nothing was ever good enough for her and she wound up purchasing an extremely luxurious and over-the-top home that seems wholly unnecessary. I’m not sure how she can possibly keep up with the maintenance of this house, let alone her monthly energy bills living alone in this mansion. Every time I go to see her it seems like something is slipping by the wayside. She can’t seem to keep her head wrapped around all of the responsibilities that come with her house. Most recently, I had to inquire about all of the mold and mildew in her pool house. I didn’t think it was a good idea to have an indoor pool when our outdoor air is always so humid. I had a feeling that the climate we live in would be rather unapologetic with pumping heat and humidity into her little pool house. After that, she would have an air quality disaster to deal with as the mold and mildew begin to read through the pool house and into her central heating and cooling system. All of my premonitions about the air quality and potential for mold growth were correct. Every time I go to her house there is a larger field of mold and mildew growing in the pool house. Her central heating and cooling system has been infiltrated by the airborne contaminants. Now, she needs to worry about maintaining her HVAC system along with the rest of her massive home.
