Eric isn’t an expert when it comes to balancing his life but he’s doing his best.
Eric believes he comes by it naturally as his mother was the same way. This is why it makes sense that Eric so much like his mother when it comes to getting the balance he needs in his life. Similar to his mom, Eric prefers getting out of the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C comfort of the cottage and getting out to nature. When he’s in nature, it seems to settle him and helps Eric regain a perspective that is lacking due to the nature of his job. His mom got some land that also had this ancient cottage on it. Since then, she has added on to that cottage but it’s still pretty basic. For heating, there was a wood stove that made the Winter time cozy up there. And just before Eric’s mom passed away, she got hooked up with electricity out there so they did not have to have kerosene lamps or any of that stuff. Last month, Eric made more changes in an effort to get his family enthusiastic about going to the cabin. Comfort was the name of the game. He’s added appliances to the family room and satellite internet. However, one of the largest hits was the ductless heat pump Eric had installed in the cabin. He’s fortunate enough to have an acquaintance who had a Heating, Ventilation, and A/C serviceman. He came out for 3 days and helped Eric install the ductless heat pumps. Eric purchased all the beer and food and his buddy provided the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional expertise. Now whenever it’s time for him to go find a bit of balance at the cottage, Eric’s family always tags along.
