It’s good to have a hobby that has nothing to do with your career.
My friend and I are HVAC technicians, and we love what we do.
To be honest, the HVAC industry has come a long way, and we are grateful to have a source of income. This has led to us having families, and making sure they have all that they need. Our jobs entail working on commercial and residential HVAC systems. We both have 5 years experience each in installation, repair and service. However, when we clock out, we like to go exploring and check out abandoned places. In our area, there’s vast forest land, and so do the neighboring states. That means we always have a new place each month to go explore. We started checking out abandoned places when we were in college. A group of us decided to go hiking in a new area during the weekend, and came across an abandoned mansion. It looked like no one had lived there in decades, so we scaled the walls, and got inside. The big items were still there, but there’s also a lot that was missing. We spent hours exploring and trying to imagine the life of its former occupants. Later that year, my friend and I went to another abandoned place to explore, and that’s how the hobby started. We recall this one house we went to where we came across the biggest window AC unit. It was such a sight, and we made sure to snap lots of pics so we could do more research on it.
