My Grandma loved her arts and crafts, but the clutter in the home was getting too much for my parents to handle, so dad got to work building her a shed in the backyard to house all of her tools and items.
The shed would be her safe space and a great way to keep exploring her talents.
Once the shed was ready, we helped her move her things to it and set up the workspaces. Grandma asked my dad how she’d keep the shed cool since it was summer. Dad had the best solution. He went to town and purchased her a ductless mini-split AC, now at first, Grandma was shocked since she’d never heard of a ductless Heating and A/C, but she’d seen a portable AC, which is what she thought dad was getting her. But, the window AC system was a better option. It was the latest model that needed little to no work to install in the shed. Dad didn’t call an AC professional to help him set it up. Instead, he called my mom for assistance, and they figured it out fast. The window Heating and A/C system was operational using a remote control and WIFI. All Grandma needed was an app on her phone, which I taught her how to use. The modern ductless AC also functioned as an air purifier. It meant Grandma could enjoy good air quality, and also, it was a dehumidifier. The mini-split installation was easy since the machine came with a manual and all the parts, and mom picked the right window to set it on, and Grandma was thrilled. She spent that afternoon in her new shed and loved working on her different crafts, not once did the cooling machine not work to keep her workspace cool.
