I was the first man in my family to go to university & the first man to ever buy a house. I purchased a lake house when I was only 25 years old. I had a absolutely good job & I didn’t want to continue to spend my money for living in an apartment. My job gave myself and others a giant sign on bonus & I used it to buy a house. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money & be broke all of the time, so I purchased a lake house that was in a good town but needed some repairs. My brother works as a general contractor & he told myself and others that he would help myself and others anytime that I needed some help… As soon as I purchased the house, he went to the roof to maintenance a couple of spots that were soft. My brother also helped to clean the chimney so I could use the fireplace. The fireplace is one of the reasons why I purchased this lake house in the first site. It has a wonderful stone surrounding & it looks absolutely nice. The area where the fireplace is located is a good locale to set & study a book. The fireplace helps to keep the lake house warm, but I also have a oil furnace, then when the oil furnace broke down, that was not a job that my brother could help with. I had to call the local heating contractor. They sent a young & cute sales guy to talk with myself and others about my oil furnace options. The cute sales guy also talked myself and others into a smart thermostat.
