A few weeks ago we decided to have the biggest family reunions I’ve ever experienced.
I thought this was an interesting choice, because we don’t generally get together very much as a family.
In fact, my extended family hasn’t been in the same room together in the past 20 years. Throwing a giant party and trying to gather everyone in one place sounded like a lot of fun, but also a lot of hassle. Somehow, the task was thrown on my mom, which meant that I was helping her host the big shindig. We were trying to find enough space for everyone to sleep in the house, and it was proven quite challenging to find enough comfortable resting places. It was easy to situate people on the main floor, where there was bountiful Heating and Cooling available from the central HVAC system. My mom had several extra bedrooms as well as couches for people to crash on. They would be comfortable and perfectly tempered with use of the modern furnace and Central cooling system. However, the problems arose when we started setting up the attic for someone to sleep there. There’s plenty of room, and we got a comfortable bed up into the space. However, the top floor of the house was inherently hot and humid. The entire time we were cleaning it out, I was sweating through my shirt and panting for fresh, cool air. I wasn’t sure how anybody was going to manage to sleep in such a stagnant and miserable space. Just when I was about to throw in the towel and rent a few extra hotel rooms for my family, my mom innocently asked if I had carried the portable air conditioning unit up to the attic yet.
