Housesitting for people is such an interesting experience.
You have the opportunity to live in a new house for a while and experience a different kind of life.
However, there are some downsides to housesitting. Their decor and lifestyle may not be what you are used to, meaning that you don’t have a lot of room for personalization. It also doesn’t help when they don’t have typical HVAC systems. I am currently housesitting for a friend that will be gone for two weeks. I wish that it was summer because he has central a central air conditioner that would keep me cool during the summer days without all of the sound of a window air conditioner, which is the kind of air conditioner that I have. However, he doesn’t have a furnace. Instead, he used a wood stove to keep his family warm all winter. Since it is winter now, I have to use the wood stove to keep my family warm right now. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use a woodstove. I don’t even know how to light a fire. The guy tried to give me a crash course on using his heating system, but I mostly have forgotten how to use it. My biggest struggle is keeping the fire going during the night. Usually, when I wake up in the morning, it is freezing cold because I did something wrong. I don’t want to wake up one day and find that the water pipes are frozen because I forgot to keep the fire going in the heating system. I wish he had a regular furnace.
