One day, Josh came and told me that he had a surprise for me.
The next few days, he was constantly on the phone with what I could assume was the heating dealership. He had also been researching the heating industry and repeatedly asked which heat and AC product I liked best if I had to choose all over again. The electric heating system we had was barely five years old. So I failed to understand his sudden interest in heaters. I asked him if he had noticed any problem with the boiler after the heater maintenance two months before. When he said that there was no issue, I started becoming suspicious. He had been acting strange, and when I asked what was going on, he would give me the most stupid reasons, the last being that he was trying to find the best furnace filter that we would use moving forward. I eventually gave up when I told him a person who claimed to be an HVAC tech had called, and he said it was for a heating repair at his friend’s house. Our weekend vacation was finally here. When we finally got there, I was speechless. An old run-down house that overlooked a stream he had repurchased some years ago was completely renovated, and I could see most of the things I had suggested when we talked about remodeling it. It had heated floors and a wireless thermostat. He finally told me what had been going on. The contractor who called confirmed that they were done with the furnace/heater installation and wanted to finalize details of the HVAC service plan. He considered all the little details we had both agreed on, back when we had no idea when we would get money for the renovation.
