I could never understand why anyone would want to live in a tiny house.
I saw them as a sardine can, and only my wife and I had to share it.
I knew it would be crowded and uncomfortable, but I at least liked the company I was keeping. I wasn’t sure if my wife would like me for very long if we had to live in a sardine can. Those thoughts were going through my mind when my daughter told me she wanted a tiny home. She asked me if I would help her decide what HVAC I should put in the tiny house. I had been an HVAC technician for many years, but I had never thought about installing HVAC into a tiny home. I looked into several different systems, but none of them sounded feasible. I knew they had compact HVAC systems, but after seeing the tiny home, I knew it would take up too much space inside the home. I asked my daughter if she had thought about getting ductless HVAC for the house. I showed her where we could put one unit that would virtually heat and cool the entire tiny home. She didn’t like where I showed her the placement, but I was afraid if it was at the other end of the house, it wouldn’t heat the upper level. Once I looked at the upper level, I wouldn’t want to go up there if I was a heating system. When I told her that, she laughed. She kissed my cheek and told me she was living in the playhouse I would never build for her.
