My Dad was legitimately glad to be able to move closer to her grandbabies.
She has been talking about moving near us ever since our oldest was born.
That was 5 years ago. I never thought she would actually do it though. But, she did. I helped her find a house once it was clear she was actually going to make the move this time. I found a nice little house only a mile from our house. The only thing I didn’t like was the boiler. It has an old hydronic heater with radiant heat. I remember my old high school had those types of heaters. There were radiators in every class room as well as they got legitimately hot. As my Dad is getting older I felt that that sort of heat might be dangerous for her. What if she accidentally left a book on one of the radiators? So I was about to disregard that household until I found out that you can use the hydronic heater to heat radiant floors instead of radiators. It is still radiant heat but it is much safer. I talked to my Dad about all of this as well as she was completely on board. She prefers the little house but she hates the flooring anyway. She is also not a substantial fan of having substantial radiators all throughout the house. She told me she has regularly wanted heated flooring though. So I got in touch with a boiler company as well as they came out as well as installed the heated floor… My Dad moves in in a week as well as we are all legitimately excited for the move.
