My Grandmother lives outside the city in rural areas! I go out to visit her every month and sometimes bring my mother along.
Our wish is always to bring her back home to live with us, but she is so stubborn and proud and just won.
She’s fought all our efforts and insists on residing on her own. My Grandpa built the current home that my grandma lives in, and I love the condo. It’s such an appealing place surrounded by woodland! The only issue is the space is too isolated! Grandmother isn’t getting any younger, so I tend to worry about his safety. Three years ago, before Grandpa passed away, he set up a gas furnace in the house. It was a better way to heat the condo rather than use logs while in Winter. Up until his death, it was always finally working perfectly fine. But my only problem was no furnace serviceman had serviced the system since it was installed. One day, while at work, I felt apprehensive and went to visit Grandmother. She welcomed me, and I decided to spend the night. I brought along a CO detector because I wanted to see if my grandma was in danger. I left it by the new indoor furnace and went to sleep. At around 1 am, I woke up to a loud beeping noise. The detector had confirmed my suspicions about the oil furnace. I ran and swung open all the windows to let in lots of fresh air. Grandmother was awake and safe within hours. I told her that I needed to call in an HVAC serviceman to come repair the furnace. After making a cellphone call the following afternoon, an A/C expert came and set up a CO detector next to the gas furnace. Also, he serviced the whole component and made multiple repairs to prevent any more incidents. Grandmother was fortunate I had come to the current home that night, and so was I.
