I wanted to put a craft shop in my garage.
It was okay working out there in the spring, but when summer arrived, it was so hot I could barely breathe.
I couldn’t leave the doors open because of the road dust that came in. I thought about doing crafts in the spring and fall to eliminate the need for HVAC, but I didn’t want to be limited to certain times of year when I did my crafts. My daughter was telling me she had a mini split ductless HVAC system in their garage. It cooled and heated the bathroom and the upper loft, and it cost very little to run. I went over to her house and checked it out. When I walked into the garage, it was so comfortable that I knew it was exactly what I wanted in my garage. I didn’t have an upper loft in my garage, but I had a bathroom. I thought maybe I could get away with an even smaller ductless HVAC unit. After talking to my husband, he wanted to make sure I was going to make enough money from the crafts to afford to have a mini split system installed in the garage. Once I showed him the orders I already had, he called the HVAC company. It took a couple of days to have the ductless HVAC system delivered, but it only took a few hours to have it installed. Now, I can work in the garage regardless of the time of year.
