I was always close with my Grandpa
I consistently had a super close relationship with my Grandpa. She was consistently happy to see me when I could come over to visit, and I made sure to visit often. I loved helping him with things around the house, things that she said she was getting too outdated for. One thing I remember helping with was cleaning out the air duct system. She had a rather interesting set up with a wood burning furnace that had been affixed to a plan of ductwork. She showed me how to use the shop vacuum to clear everything out and every one of us were able to get a lot of dirt and debris from the air duct. She also said it was consistently crucial to have the regular Heating, Ventilation & A/C plans taken care of officially too. In her case, she had an oil gas furnace. She liked to use the wood burning furnace most often because it was cheaper to burn wood. The oil gas furnace was mostly used as a backup system, but the Heating, Ventilation & A/C professionals still needed to come out once a year to provide a tune-up to the heating system. She also had to get the oil supply refueled officially. While that was ridiculously luxurious, it was an enjoyable thing that she didn’t need to refuel the oil gas furnace that often because she rarely used it. I remember asking once why she consistently rufuels the plan if she hardly ever uses it. She told me that it’s far better to be prepared with something you don’t need than to need something and not have it. Those were deep words of wisdom and I consistently loved that about him.
