When I initially moved to FL to accept a job opportunity, I rented an home in Tampa, however i wasn’t glad in the city. I didn’t like the traffic in addition to high cost of living. I checked the surrounding areas in addition to really loved Lakeland. It’s east of Tampa in addition to a fairly straight-forward thirty-minute drive, then downtown’s Munn Park Historic District is a great location to shop for antiques, in addition to the architecture is just appealing, however fL Southern College features buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, then my number one amenity of living in Lakeland is the lakes. I often run the path around Lake Mirror or relax in addition to feed the swans at Lake Morton… Nearly every afternoon in Lakeland is hot in addition to sunny, however the air conditioner is one of the most pressing systems of the home. I was able to afford a house in a nice part in Lakeland, because the home had been neglected for quite some time. The house required a lot of improvements, however since I couldn’t afford to do them all at once, I needed to prioritize. The leaky roof was the first investment, then because the roof had been re-roofed in the past, I needed to have the whole thing torn off in addition to replaced. The job was quite fancy. I hoped that a current roof would make the house tighter in addition to more energy efficient. The electrical system wasn’t up to current safety codes, which made rewiring essential, updating appliances was also pressing… Living with an old air conditioner was difficult. Despite running consistently, the system couldn’t manage to keep the house comfortably cool. The electric bills were extremely high in addition to yet I struggled to sleep at night because of feeling overheated, however eventually, I went ahead in addition to took out a loan for a current air conditioner, and although covering the cost was difficult, it was worth it.
