We fixed up the room just right for my aunt to live in

When we decided to move my aunt into the house many years ago, we had to make some changes in our home. The basement already had too much stuff down there and it would have taken forever to clear everything out to make a living space for my aunt. But the attic space on the other hand, we thought we could make that work. So we worked to build a bedroom in the attic. It was a major project and we also had to consider what type of HVAC system would be installed. We had a consultation with the local HVAC contractor and the guy said if he was installing an HVAC, he would go for a ductless mini split. We heard nothing but good things about these ductless mini splits. Also, you wouldn’t have to worry about blocking the windows with window AC units. It was just a win-win situation and our aunt would be perfectly comfortable with ample space and a decent view from her windows. So after completing the room with new insulation, floors, and ceiling tiles, the room was ready. The HVAC system was impressive too, very powerful and energy efficient. That room was so cozy after it was finished and I was kind of jealous that my aunt was able to get the nicest room in the house! I felt bad for her though, because her husband passed away and she couldn’t live on her own for long after that. To this day, she still lives in that room, and I have my own place these days. I always go to visit my parents and my aunt though!
