What to Expect When Installing a Tri-Zone Mini Split AC

When installing a tri zone mini split AC: what to expect, it’s helpful to know that the positioning of each indoor unit is key to maximizing efficiency and comfort. The technicians will work to identify the optimal spots in each zone, usually high on walls where airflow can be evenly distributed across the room. They’ll consider factors like furniture placement, windows, and room size to ensure that the units aren’t obstructed and can provide effective cooling and heating. In some cases, you may need to rearrange certain areas of your home temporarily to accommodate the units and the necessary connections. Additionally, each unit will be fitted with its own remote or wall-mounted control panel, allowing for easy management of temperature and fan speed across each zone.

Another reason why tri zone mini split ACs are perfect for renovations lies in their ability to adapt to different types of spaces within a single home. Renovations often involve creating new spaces or reconfiguring existing ones, and traditional central air systems can struggle to effectively cool each area, especially if walls are added or removed. With a tri zone mini split, homeowners can establish dedicated cooling zones in each space without requiring major alterations to the existing HVAC system. This makes it easy to cool new additions like home offices, bedrooms, or even attic spaces—rooms that might otherwise be challenging to keep comfortable with a central system. The minimal setup and quick installation of these units mean they can be seamlessly incorporated into a renovation project without significant delays or added complexity.

Experience ultimate comfort with a tri-zone mini split AC that seamlessly adjusts to meet the needs of each room. With this advanced system, you have full control over three distinct climate zones, allowing you to set different temperatures for each space. This flexibility is ideal for homes where temperature preferences vary between rooms, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable without compromising on energy efficiency. The tri-zone system uses inverter technology to maintain a steady temperature in each zone, reducing the constant on-and-off cycling typical in traditional units. This translates to lower energy consumption, quieter operation, and a consistent level of comfort throughout your home.

Ready to elevate your home's comfort to the next level? It’s time to upgrade your home with a sleek and powerful DIY tri zone mini split AC. This advanced cooling system not only delivers superior performance but also allows you to manage temperatures in up to three separate zones of your home. Whether you're looking to cool a single room or multiple spaces, this system ensures that you get the perfect climate for every area, without the hassle of central air conditioning. The streamlined design means no bulky ducts or vents, making it a great option for homes with limited space or for those who want a more aesthetically pleasing solution.

Another compelling reason to reduce your carbon footprint with a ceiling tri zone mini split AC is its versatility in both residential and commercial spaces. Whether you're cooling a multi-level home or separate office areas, this system provides customizable temperature control in each zone, allowing for targeted cooling without the wastefulness of traditional systems. This reduces the overall energy consumption and helps cut down on your carbon footprint, all while maintaining comfort in different rooms or areas of your building. It's an efficient solution for anyone looking to create a more sustainable, energy-conscious environment.

Ducted tri-zone mini split AC technology continues to gain popularity due to its versatility and adaptability for various home layouts. One of its standout features is the ability to integrate seamlessly into homes without the need for extensive ductwork, making it an ideal solution for homes undergoing renovation or those with limited space for traditional ducted systems.

Details of Belle's room, because I like her a lot and she deserves more attention.

[Desc: Belle's wooden desk. Featuring an industrial style lamp, a metal lock box under a standard black file box. There's a pair of white headphones with green detailing, and a clear plus(+) and minus(-) symbol for volume. A pencil holder that looks a bit like film, though it has numbers & letters. It holds a pair of scissors, a graphite pencil, an exacto blade/box cutter, a marker, and a mechanical pencils/pen. There's a scrap/sketch book in the center, brown and seemingly leather. There's a latch and band to keep it closed and it's covered in stamps, most notably one with a four leaf clover. On the wall are two post it notes, both with little doodles. This hints that she's creative. Either collecting stamps and stickers, which would align with the stickers all over her room and her pension for memory keeping (see the memory board the player can edit), and that she at least does small doodles, if not draw as a hobby.]

[Desc: Beside her orange box tv; which is inspired by vintage 70s/80s tube televisions with knobs/dials; is a game console on top of a VHS player. It's seemingly inspired by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, based on it's shape. There are three game cartridges, one in the machine. The one in the console is half visible, but what we can see has a blue smiley face. The second cartridge with a visible sticker seems to be either a horror or "biohazard" type shooter game. Though that's my interpretation.]

[Desc: Beside her desk is a wall with pipes. On the lower pipe there are more post it notes with more small doodles, stuck to the pipe with small magnets. One features a small yellow star and three big question marks. Two features a figure running with their hands over their head, carrying a heart. Three has some illegible writing and an emoticon face. On the pipe above this one are VHS tape boxes. Most are in kanji I cannot read, but the ones I can are- (1) The Silence of the Butterflies (2) I'M NOT A BANGBOO (3) The Sixteenth Split. I like to imagine the first movie is maybe a reference to Silence of the Lambs, based on the title alone. Which, if it is, might mean Belle likes horror/psychological horror movies.]

[Desc: On the table beside her mini fridge is a hybrid music player. It plays records via a slit in the front, almost like a CD player. And there's a space for walkman tapes above that. The volume knob is notably loud, there are tiny numbers and Belle's set it to the second-to-last setting. There's a box of records beside it with two semi visible packages. The first one is in kanji I, again, cannot read. But my guess, based on the art, is some kind of alt style music. The one behind it has a barely visible animal mascot with vibrant blues & greens, and the sharp art style makes me think of electric rock or pop. Behind this is her night stand. On the nightstand is a blue "GameBoy" and a yellow mug that says 'LENMAN', which is also seen on a soda can in her room. Lemon soda, I would guess.]

[Desc: The wall beside Belle's (unmade) bed. There are five posters. One features art of a woman's face above the movie title; 'REVERSAL'. There is some silhouette art that vaguely looks like some ethereal monsters, followed by the movie tag line underneathe - "Night of the Ethereal Reversal". Might be a Night of the Living Dead reference. Which further makes me believe Belle likes horror movies. The second poster is covered by One & Three, which makes it pretty hard to know what it shows. What I can see is an unfinished title - "---- Slayer". There's eyes on some of the visible artwork and it looks vaguely like a record with scenes on it. The third poster features various Bangboos climbing away from a large, glowing, orange, Bangboo that seems to be "exploding" with energy, exposing its skeleton & heart. There's kanji I can't read, but under the kanji title is the word "THUNDER". And the words "BANGBOO POWER" are behind the artwork at the top. The fourth poster is one also seen downstairs in the Random Play store. The title is 'Coffee Mate'. Based on the style & energy of the artwork, my personal guess is that it's a romantic, slow paced anime film. The fifth & last poster is titles Ports Peak. The art is blue with a red chainsaw blade shape cutting through the middle, in the blade shape is the vague image of a man's side profile. Based on the blood splatter pattern & the chainsaw, this is likely a horror movie. The art makes me think of Evil Dead & Texas Chainsaw Massacre, personally.]

{Desc: Beside Belle's leather couch is a red electric guitar & an orange amp. On the couch is also one of her console controllers...which has no joy sticks, only a d pad, buttons, and bumpers. Also, she has stickers on her leather couch, clearly showing she gives no fucks.]

[Desc: On the floor, in a divot in the wall beside the small stairs that go up to her bed's raised platform is a skateboard & a framed poster. The skateboard features a green dinosaur/monster with it's mouth open. The bottom says FATE, likely the brand. The framed poster features two smiling tigers on the top & bottom of a logo, on a red & black striped background. Since she also has snowboard goggles in her room, I'm guessing she uses the skateboard when the weather is too warm for snow.]

[Desc: Next to Eous's charging station is a yellow dresser. On top of it is a boombox radio that has two mixtape spots. There's a small display with random colors that currently displays a pause symbol. It also has an antenna, which means it could be used as a standard FM/AM radio. Beside the boombox is a rabbit statue that Belle is using to hold a pair of black, green & blue snowboarding goggles. Small note, on Eous' coat is the words "Random Play - Staff", and his scarf has their name in small text.]

[Desc: At the end of Belle's bed is a pair of red shelves, and a pair of industrial metal & wood shelves. On the red shelves are three record sleeves. The small text on the albums is gibberish, but they're all made by 5AM Studios. The first and top one is black with white graffiti-bubble letters that say "3Z". R'n'B maybe? I've seen art like this for some R'N'B albums. Below it, the second album features some art of a Bangboo riding a cat through a ring of fire. Above the art is the word ZENLESS. The font & style give me, personally, some rock vibes. What subgenre of rock, I'm not sure. The last album is a art of a spider on a black & red ombre background, contrasting the spider, which features the same gradient in the opposite direction. The spider seems to feature the name of the band or album, but I can't tell what it says. I do know that this shit has to be a metal album. I'm like, 90% sure. On the industrial style shelves are some VHS tapes & a box. These tapes look like the type you buy for your own recordings, rather than ones with movies. Underneath that level is a technicolor piece of artwork in a frame. There's an illegible signature in the right bottom corner, meaning it's an autograph.]

Can You Live in a Sunroom?

Picture this: you wake up to the soft glow of morning light filtering through glass walls, sip your coffee while listening to birds outside—without dealing with bugs or the unpredictable South Bend weather. Sounds dreamy, right? But can a sunroom actually be a livable space? The short answer: it depends.

If you’re thinking about converting a sunroom into a full-time living space, there are a few key things to consider—comfort, insulation, building codes, and how you plan to use the space. Whether you’re a homeowner looking for extra room, a retiree seeking a cozy retreat, or a remote worker dreaming of a bright workspace, let’s break down what it takes to make a sunroom more than just a sunny nook.

Before we talk about whether you can actually live in one, let’s clarify what a sunroom is.

Three-season sunrooms: These are designed for spring, summer, and fall, but aren’t fully insulated for harsh winters. They usually have large windows but lack proper heating and cooling.

Four-season sunrooms: These are insulated, have heating and cooling options, and can be used year-round. They’re much closer to a regular room in terms of livability.

A standard sunroom might be perfect for enjoying an afternoon with a book, but if you want to make it a full-time living space, you’ll need to make some upgrades.

What Makes a Sunroom Livable?

1. Temperature Control

Let’s be real—South Bend winters aren’t exactly mild. If your sunroom isn’t properly insulated, it’s going to feel like an icebox in January and a sauna in July.

Insulation: If you want to live in a sunroom year-round, you’ll need insulated walls, double- or triple-pane windows, and proper weatherproofing.

Heating & Cooling: Space heaters won’t cut it. A ductless mini-split system, baseboard heating, or extending your home’s HVAC system can make a huge difference.

Window Treatments: Thermal curtains or cellular shades can help regulate temperature and keep energy bills down.

Without these upgrades, a sunroom is just a fancy greenhouse—and unless you’re a houseplant, that’s not ideal.

2. Building Codes & Permits

Turning a sunroom into a bedroom, home office, or rental unit isn’t just a matter of throwing in a bed. There are local building codes and zoning regulations to consider.

Minimum insulation and energy standards may need to be met.

Electrical work needs to be up to code, especially if you’re adding permanent heating and cooling.

Egress requirements (for bedrooms) mean you might need an additional exit.

If you’re planning on making it a legal living space—especially for a rental—it’s worth checking with a local contractor or your city’s permit office.

3. Flooring

A concrete floor might be fine for a seasonal sunroom, but if you’re going to be spending a lot of time in there, you’ll want something more comfortable.

Heated floors: If you’re already upgrading insulation, radiant floor heating can make the space extra cozy.

Carpet or rugs: These can help trap warmth in colder months.

Vinyl or engineered hardwood: These materials handle temperature changes better than solid hardwood.

4. Privacy & Noise: Will It Feel Like a Fishbowl?

One of the biggest perks of a sunroom is all the natural light—but all those windows can be a double-edged sword.

Privacy concerns: If you live in a suburban neighborhood, you might feel a little exposed. Frosted window films, blinds, or sheer curtains can help without sacrificing light.

Noise issues: Glass walls don’t provide the same sound insulation as regular drywall, so if you live near a busy road, you might need noise-reducing window panels.

The Best Uses for a Year-Round Sunroom

If you’re not sure whether a sunroom makes sense as a primary bedroom or full-time living space, there are plenty of other ways to maximize it:

Home Office: Natural light can boost productivity, and a sunroom makes for a peaceful workspace.

Guest Room: With the right insulation and heating, it can be a cozy retreat for visitors.

Indoor Garden or Greenhouse: Perfect for plant lovers—just be mindful of temperature control.

Playroom or Lounge: A sunroom can make a bright, inviting family hangout spot.

Pet-Friendly Space: If you want an indoor-outdoor feel for your pets, a sunroom is a great compromise.

Can a Sunroom Be a Full-Time Living Space?

Yes—but it takes work. A standard three-season sunroom isn’t built for year-round comfort, but with proper insulation, heating, and structural updates, it can function just like any other room in your home.

If you’re thinking about converting a sunroom into a permanent living space, talk to local contractors who understand South Bend’s climate and building regulations. A well-designed sunroom can add value to your home, create a functional extra space, and give you a unique, sun-filled place to relax—without worrying about mosquitoes or snowstorms.

Want to explore your options? Screenmobile of South Bend can help you design a sunroom that works for your needs—whether that’s an all-season retreat, a home office, or just the perfect spot for your morning coffee.

8 Things to Consider Before Choosing AC Installation

These days, having an air conditioning system is deemed necessary. Selecting the appropriate brand and model is essential to effectively combating the summertime heat. People frequently buy air conditioners without doing adequate research. As a result, they are unable to obtain an AC that meets their needs. To make sure you acquire a system that is suitable for your home or workplace, it is best practice to make a list of the models that are available and compare them. Additionally, you want to work with a skilled company for Air Conditioning Installation Maitland.

The following elements should be taken into account while selecting the best AC system:

1. There Are Numerous Kinds to Select From

Split systems for central air conditioner installation in Maitland are possible. It consists of an evaporator coil, an inside air handler, and an outside condenser unit. All three are housed in the same housing in a package system. It can be put in place on the ground or the roof. For smaller homes lacking ductwork, ductless mini splits are a further alternative. When only a small space has to be cooled, window air conditioners and portable air conditioners are even more compact options.

2. Variety In Sizes For ACs

The majority of air conditioners have comparable sizes. However, an AC's capacity is not determined by its dimensions. British Thermal Units (BTUs) and tons are used to quantify cooling capacity. An air conditioner removes roughly 12,000 BTUs of air per hour per ton.

An air conditioning system can cool a greater area if it contains more BTUs. A standard 2,000-square-foot house is suitable for a 3- to 3.5-ton unit. The best-sized HVAC system is also influenced by factors like the climate, the quantity of windows and doors in a house, the quality of the insulation, and the number of people living there.

3. Installation Cost

It is customary to buy the cheapest air conditioning systems possible in order to reduce expenses. In the long run, nevertheless, choosing the more expensive units for air conditioner installation in Maitland end up being more economical. They contribute to cutting electricity bills by consuming less energy. These effective technologies maintain a cool environment in rooms. Because installing these systems yourself carries some danger, it is advised against doing so. An expert service can efficiently and swiftly install all required parts. In addition, when selecting a new AC system, you want to take your budget into account.

4. Ductwork Is Not Required

The cost of installing or upgrading ducting can go into the thousands. Furthermore, ducts grow more vulnerable to leakage as they age. If twenty or thirty per cent of the conditioned air in your ducts is leaking, your energy expenses will go up significantly. air conditioner installation in Maitland without ducts eliminate inefficiencies and other problems related to ducting. Additionally, they enable you to create several zones, allowing you to independently regulate the temperature of various rooms, floors, or locations.

5. The Cost of Installing an AC Depending on the Season

Prices will increase in the summer since there is a greater demand for air conditioners. When consumers start to consider their cooling needs in the spring, you'll also see higher prices. However, most people don't consider their air conditioning throughout the winter. Purchasing at the right time of year can help you save 10%, 20%, or even more. While pleasant weather in the north in the fall and spring encourages many HVAC providers to give discounts to keep their staff busy, winter purchases in the south save homeowners money.

6. Keep the Air Filter in Mind

It's possible that your AC system comes with a simple filter. But does it cover all of your needs for indoor air quality? Every AC filter is not created equal. With its smaller surface area, a basic fibreglass filter lets in more airflow but isn't as effective at trapping particles as, say, a MERV 12 media filter. Certain high-efficiency filters are able to collect minute dust particles, pollen, smoke, and in certain cases, bacteria and viruses.

7. The Loudness Level Has an Impact on Your Health

It's possible that you won't consider noise level while purchasing an AC. That being said, it's a crucial factor. Excessive background noise might be annoying all the time. Less than 50 dB of noise should be produced by an air conditioner. An ambulance siren is 120 dB, an alarm clock is 60 dB, and a whisper is roughly 20 dB.

8. The Use of Inverter Technology Can Save You

A conventional compressor operates at maximum power or is switched off. Systems with two stages can operate at high or low levels. However, an AC compressor powered by an inverter can operate at incremental speeds to precisely match demand. It can reduce your energy usage by up to 50% as opposed to an all-or-nothing system since, at any given time, it may only need to operate at 40%, 60%, or 80% of full capacity. When choosing air conditioner installation in Maitland,

Conclusion

Making an educated choice during the residential air conditioner installation in Newcastle process is essential for long-term efficiency and comfort. You may guarantee optimal performance and cost savings by taking into account the eight essential aspects, which include assessing your cooling requirements, choosing the appropriate AC unit, comprehending energy efficiency ratings, and confirming the installation company's reputation.

You can also prevent future problems by evaluating the warranty, maintenance needs, and installation schedule. You may benefit from a trustworthy, effective cooling system that is customised to meet your unique needs by taking the time to prepare and conduct research.

Efficient and Reliable Comfort: Ductless Air Conditioning Installation in San Diego

Living in San Diego comes with the privilege of enjoying a mild climate most of the year. However, the summer heat can become intense, making a reliable air conditioning system a necessity. Traditional central air conditioning systems are not always the best fit for every home, particularly older homes or those without existing ductwork. This is where ductless air conditioning systems shine. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of ductless air conditioning installation in San Diego, how the systems work, and why they are a perfect solution for modern comfort needs.

What is a Ductless Air Conditioning System?

Ductless air conditioning systems, also known as mini-split systems, consist of two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. These components are connected by a conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain. Unlike traditional systems that require extensive ductwork, ductless systems deliver cooled air directly to specific zones or rooms, offering a flexible and efficient cooling solution.

Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioning Systems

Energy Efficiency

One of the most significant advantages of ductless air conditioning systems is their energy efficiency. Traditional central air systems can lose up to 30% of their cooling energy through ductwork. Ductless systems eliminate this loss, ensuring that all the cooled air reaches the intended area. This efficiency translates into lower energy bills, making ductless systems a cost-effective option for homeowners.

Personalized Comfort

Ductless systems provide zoned cooling, which allows you to control the temperature in individual rooms or areas. This feature is particularly useful for households with varying temperature preferences. Each indoor unit can be adjusted independently, ensuring that every room maintains the desired comfort level. This targeted approach not only enhances comfort but also reduces energy usage by cooling only the occupied areas.

Easy Installation

The installation of a ductless system is less invasive and quicker compared to traditional systems. Since there is no need for extensive ductwork, the process involves minimal disruption to your home. A small hole, usually about three inches in diameter, is all that is needed to connect the indoor and outdoor units. This simplicity makes ductless systems an excellent choice for older homes or buildings where adding ductwork is impractical.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Traditional ducted systems can accumulate dust, allergens, and other pollutants within the ductwork, which are then circulated throughout the home. Ductless systems bypass this issue, providing cleaner air. Many ductless units also come with advanced filtration systems that reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, and other allergens, improving overall indoor air quality and creating a healthier living environment.

Quiet Operation

Ductless systems are known for their quiet operation. The indoor units are designed to operate at low noise levels, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices where silence is appreciated. The outdoor unit is also quieter than traditional central air conditioners, contributing to a peaceful home environment.

Why Ductless Air Conditioning is Ideal for San Diego

Choosing the Right Ductless System

Assessing Your Needs

Before installing a ductless air conditioning system, it's essential to assess your specific cooling and heating needs. Consider the size and layout of your home, the number of rooms you need to cool, and your budget. Consulting with a professional can help you determine the best system and configuration for your home.

Single-Zone vs. Multi-Zone Systems

Ductless systems are available in single-zone and multi-zone configurations. Single-zone systems are ideal for cooling or heating one specific area, such as a new addition, a converted garage, or a single room. Multi-zone systems can connect multiple indoor units to one outdoor unit, allowing you to control the temperature in several rooms independently. Multi-zone systems are perfect for whole-home solutions, providing comprehensive comfort throughout the house.

Efficiency Ratings

When selecting a ductless system, pay attention to its efficiency ratings. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) are key indicators of the system's efficiency. Higher SEER and HSPF ratings mean better energy efficiency and potential savings on your energy bills. Look for Energy Star-certified systems, which meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The Installation Process

Professional Installation

While ductless systems are easier to install than traditional systems, professional installation is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Certified technicians have the expertise to handle the electrical and refrigerant components safely. They will also ensure that the system is correctly sized and installed for maximum efficiency and comfort.

Site Assessment

The installation process begins with a site assessment. The technician will evaluate your home to determine the best locations for the indoor and outdoor units. They will consider factors such as airflow, accessibility, and aesthetic preferences. Proper placement is essential to ensure efficient operation and even cooling distribution.

Installation Steps

Mounting the Indoor Unit: The indoor unit is mounted on an interior wall, preferably high on the wall to promote better air circulation. A mounting bracket is used to secure the unit in place.

Drilling the Hole: A small hole is drilled through the wall to connect the indoor and outdoor units. The conduit, which houses the refrigerant lines, power cable, and drain line, is passed through this hole.

Setting Up the Outdoor Unit: The outdoor unit is placed on a flat surface, typically on a concrete pad or a metal bracket. It should be located in an area with good airflow and minimal obstructions.

Connecting the Units: The refrigerant lines, power cable, and drain line are connected between the indoor and outdoor units. These connections are crucial for the system's operation and must be done carefully to avoid leaks and other issues.

Testing the System: Once the installation is complete, the technician will test the system to ensure it operates correctly. They will check the refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and overall performance to confirm that everything is functioning as expected.

Maintenance and Care

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your ductless air conditioning system running efficiently. This includes cleaning or replacing the filters, inspecting the refrigerant lines, and checking the overall system for any issues. Most manufacturers recommend a professional inspection at least once a year to maintain optimal performance and extend the system's lifespan.

DIY Maintenance Tips

While professional maintenance is important, there are several tasks homeowners can perform to keep their ductless system in top condition:

Clean the Filters: The filters in the indoor unit should be cleaned regularly to ensure proper airflow and efficiency. Simply remove the filters, wash them with mild soap and water, and let them dry before reinstalling.

Check the Outdoor Unit: Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and other obstructions. This ensures proper airflow and prevents potential damage to the unit.

Monitor System Performance: Pay attention to any changes in the system's performance, such as unusual noises, reduced cooling efficiency, or increased energy bills. These could be signs of an issue that requires professional attention.

Rental Upgrades - AC Zones

How to Create Separate AC Zones in a Home

A Zoned AC is one where you can set a different temperature in each area of the house. You might separate your zones in the upstairs and downstairs or in two sides of the house that get very different sun. AC zone systems require individual management of the air temperature and pressure for each zone, which requires some sophistication and horsepower from your AC unit.

Many agree that AC zones have great potential for harmonious family life and practical commercial design. But what you may not know is that there are three different types of AC installation that can provide controllable climate zones.  Whether you are a resident homeowner or an aspiring landlord with rental properties, zoned AC can be a very useful upgrade.

Add Zones to Your Central Air System

For buildings that are already well-served by their current AC system but would like zone control, you can adapt your central air system to include two to four zones. Adding zones to your central air system is a practical way to use your existing ductwork.

Adapting a central air system for zones involves installing controllable dampers which can direct or restrict the flow of air. These dampers combined with a zone control thermostat will ask for just the right amount of hot or cold from your central air system to provide custom heating or cooling to each zone.

Build a Ductless Mini-Split System

Ductless mini-split is a different approach to the multi-zone household. Ductless AC designs require that the air be cooled or heated on the spot, often from a unit mounted on the wall. They do this by running the coolant lines from the outdoor unit - which is shared - to each individual mini-split zone unit which cools air inside each room where it is mounted.

Ductless mini-splits were invented in Japan when it was discovered that typical Japanese architecture standards did not have the overhead space for ductwork, but ACs were in high demand. The ductless mini-split is, therefore, excellent for small spaces but on the pricier side of your options.

Install a Second AC System and Ductwork

For larger spaces, you may consider installing a second AC system instead. You can install them side-by-side to increase your total horsepower or separate your ACs to accommodate two very different zones. For example, many homes have a central AC system downstairs and another one upstairs to cover two very different heating and cooling needs. Not only does the upstairs deal with different sun exposure and airflow, this also allows you to tailor your AC use for sleepers.

You can add a second AC system between the warm and cool side of the house, or if you have two close but separated structures with living spaces. You can install your two AC units to share ductwork or with shared but zoned ductwork. Or you can separate the units and have double the zones and double the coverage.

Zoning AC for Your Investment Properties

Zoned AC is a rising trend that many tenants will enjoy. These techniques are ideal for homes that typically have uneven sun exposure, difficult to balance airflow, or large spaces that typically heat and cool at different rates. Zoned AC is also useful for separating one building into multiple units with individualized comfort in each unit.

For an aspiring landlord, considering zoned AC can be a smart move for home upgrades and renovations. Planning for installation is typically the most challenging step. Upgrade your rental homes and keep your tenants happy with Leaf Management. We can help you choose the best renovations to improve the profitability, safety, and satisfactory lifestyle of each property and handle the logistics of large appliance installations for each rental home.

What Type of Air Conditioning System is the Most Appropriate for Your Residence?

Each home's cooling requirements are distinct, and factors such as size, age, insulation, and windows are just a few of the many considerations that can influence your cooling requirements. This is all considerations that must be made when replacing or installing an air conditioning system, whether you want to cool your entire home or just specific rooms. It is critical to select a system that is appropriate for your needs as well as the needs of your home. It is possible to install a heating and cooling system that is either too small or too large for your space, which will not provide the optimal level of comfort and may result in mechanical issues and costly repairs.

First and foremost, let's talk about how air conditioning works.

Despite the fact that air conditioning systems come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they all operate on the same principle: they remove heat and humidity from your home and replace it with cooled air through the use of refrigerant. This is accomplished through the cooperation of three mechanical components:

A compressor, a condenser coil, and an evaporator coil are all included.

So, here's a quick guide to help you get started in determining which type of air conditioning system is best for your home, needs, and financial situation.

AC Systems are classified into the following categories: Recognizing the Dissimilarities

The use of central air conditioning

The most common type of air conditioning system is referred to as "central air." It has the ability to keep an entire house cool and comfortable, and because it is nearly invisible and whisper-quiet, you won't even notice it is there at all. Furthermore, a central cooling system is both energy-efficient and will increase the value of a home's overall value.

With a central air conditioning system, air is distributed throughout the house through one or more fans and a network of ducts. Outside units contain the compressor and condenser coil, which are connected to an indoor unit that contains the evaporator coil. The thermostat, which is usually mounted on the wall, is in charge of controlling the temperature. 

Central air conditioning is a great option if you have a larger home with existing ductwork or if your home can accommodate new ductwork.

Mini Splits with No Ductwork

A ductless mini split system is an excellent choice if you want to add cooling to "bonus" rooms such as an office or a sunroom, as well as other spaces such as an attic or a garage or basement. You can save money and energy by using this method of cooling a smaller home.

Mini splits, like central air conditioning, require an outdoor condenser unit. The evaporator, on the other hand, is housed in separate wall-mounted units (also called air handlers). This allows for temperature control that is zoned from room to room, allowing everyone in your household to set the temperature to their personal preference.

Furthermore, ductless mini split systems can make it easier to breathe because of their extremely efficient filtration, which can significantly reduce the amount of dust, bacteria, pollens, and other particulates present in the air. Final point is that they can be installed as either a single zone unit or as a multi zone solution, and they are extremely energy efficient when in operation.

Overall, a ductless mini split system is difficult to beat for its versatility, convenience, and high-quality performance.

AC with High Velocity

Do you live in an older or historic home with no existing ductwork that has radiant heat and requires an air conditioning system that will not compromise the architectural integrity of your home? High-velocity central air conditioning may be the answer to your problems.

With this type of system, the air is moved from an outdoor compressor to a single concealed unit (the air handler), which pushes the air at a high velocity to multiple vents throughout the house. Because the tubing is only a tenth the size of a traditional system, it is simple to feed it through walls and around obstacles such as beams and joint joints.

Because a high velocity air conditioning system does not require any renovation, installation is simple and quick, and you will not have to worry about your home's unique character details being disrupted. High velocity air conditioning replaces those noisy and inconvenient window units with the modern comfort and convenience of high velocity air conditioning.

External Male Genitalia

(Warning: One very shit side diagram of the male genitalia, and one computer generated image showing the difference between a circumcised and uncircumcised penis).

Hello my lovelies,

Sorry for such a long wait, I’ve been struggling with my mental health and motivation in general. However, I’ve had a mini holiday and I feel re-energised. I’m going to set myself a goal of posting a new ‘lesson’, if you will, on this blog every Friday. I just want to say another big thank you to all those who are supporting this blog and are wanting to learn more about your fun parts.

My first two posts were centred around the female genitalia (of which I am very familiar seeing as though I have one). We are now going to give some love to the guys and talk about male genitalia – I have done as much research as I can. Unfortunately with male genitalia it seems to be a case of…what you see is really all you get, externally anyway. I will do my best, but if something does seem off just let me know (remember this is a learning journey for all of us – myself included). Ok without further ado…

Mons Pubis – The area of fatty tissue that covers the pelvic bone, however it is not as prominent on males as it is females.

Onto the actual penis, which is split up into three main sections:

The root – this is internally attached to the wall of your abdomen, and connects the penis to the pelvic bones via ligaments to offer support. Colour coded Green (I’ve included some on the actual penis to help give the idea of how it supports the penis).

The shaft/the body – This is the tube like part of the penis. This is the area that swells with blood due to the three internal chambers which contain spongy erectile tissue (corpus spongiosum) which themselves are filled with thousands of gaps which fill with blood as the male becomes aroused. When the penis becomes erect, it lengthens and thickens, shifting positions as it lifts towards the abdomen – where the rather cringy term ‘standing to attention’ is aptly applied. Colour coded Orange.

The glans – this is the ‘blub’ or head at the very end of the penis, which can be covered with foreskin. There is the urethral opening at the end of the penis where both urine and semen are expelled from the body. Yes men only have ‘one hole’ and both urine and semen are expelled from the urethra. However, internal reproductive organs block off the ability to expel urine from the urethra when the penis is erect. The glans is also filled with thousands of nerve endings (4000 to be exact), meaning if you want a reaction – give it some special attention, don’t neglect the other areas, but this is the external pleasure centre. Colour coded Red.

Foreskin – This is a sheath of skin that is attached to the head/glans of the penis when males are born. It helps to keep the glans lubricated, mainly in older males. It is fully attached to the glans in these early days, meaning it can’t be pulled back. It starts to separate around age 2 but it can start partially detaching later in life. No matter what age you are, please for the love of God do not try to pull your foreskin back further than it will naturally go – you will hurt yourself. If you have foreskin it is important to gently pull it back and wash under it, if not a cheesy like substance delightfully known as ‘smegma’ can build up and potentially lead to infections. The foreskin can also be removed at a young age for religious beliefs. The removal of the foreskin is known as circumcision. There are also different forms of circumcision for different religions, but I am not qualified to talk about them. If anyone belonging to a religion that practices circumcision and the belief behind it would like to share their story please feel free (I will anonymise you of course and please do not post your experience unless you are 18+). Colour coded Red. There is an image below which shows the difference between a circumcised penis and a non-circumcised penis.  

Scrotum - The scrotum is the sac located behind the penis; it is literally a sack of skin to hold the testicles. There is a left and right testicle, and like female breasts they are rarely symmetrical – if there is one thing to learn about nature is that she hates symmetry with a passion. In fact, one side of the human body is bigger than the other. Anyway back to balls. The purpose of the scrotum is to hold the testes which produce sperm and hold them until ejaculation (the physical effect of an orgasm). Hormones, such as testosterone (clues in the name) are produced here. Testosterone is the main sex hormone found in males, it plays a key role in the maturing of the male during puberty – focusing mainly on the sex organs, secondly on bone mass, muscle and body hair. In some cases a male may be born with one testicle. This is normal, but I would always advise that you check with your doctors if you are worried about something (I’ll share a story about my asymmetrical tits and the doctors at the end to make you guys and gals feel better). Others may lose a testicle to a medical issue – remember all bodies are different and there is beauty in our imperfections. Colour coded Blue.

Perineum – Which is also eloquently referred to as the ‘Gooch’, which is located behind the balls and before the anus – it’s in-between the two. Much like on the female, the perineum can vary in size, between 1 – 2+ inches. It can also be stimulated during sex, again, just be careful. (see my second post on female genitalia for reference).

Right story time:

So I’m telling you all this to help with my own body confidence and to help anyone who may be going through the same thing either with their tits or balls, or anyone who may be struggling with body image in general. So during puberty my tits started growing in fairly even, until my left decided to be a bitch and outgrow the other. And this isn’t a ‘little’ difference – it is incredibly noticeable, and I have to wear special shaping and compacting bras to help with my shape and make it less noticeable. Now a lot of things can affect this, diet, hormones and genetics being some. I went to the doctors for two reasons, one to check that there were not any underlying health problems such as breast cancer. Thankfully that was a negative, but I still make sure to regularly check my breasts in the bath to be sure (I’ll include a post on this too). Two, to see if anything could be done to even them out, but the NHS said no as it wasn’t a real medical concern (which to be fair, it isn’t a medical concern if there is nothing causing it other than nature hating symmetry). I’m now in my 20s and still suffer with this problem. I’ll be honest with you, I’m self-conscious every day, I’m scared of getting naked and having someone laugh at me. However, at the end of the day, if someone laughs at your body doing something that it can’t control, then they’re a piece of shit who doesn’t deserve your time and you should wait for bigger and better things. No one is lesser because of their body, no matter what it looks like. Coming to terms with your body does take time, it is still taking me time, but talking to your loved ones (or complete strangers on the internet if you’re like me) is the first stepping stone to acceptance.

Alright, that’s a wrap on my external genitalia series! Over the next few weeks I’ll be covering erogenous zones, internal pleasure centres, masturbation, consent and safe sex (not necessarily in that order)! I will cover the reproductive systems at some point, but I will let you know that it is not my main concern as most education systems around the world teach sex ed with the purpose of reproduction. To say sorry for being so late with this post, I will let you guys choose what I next post about, just reply to this post and I’ll tally it up. Your choices are:

1 – Erogenous Zones

2 – Internal Pleasure centres

The runner up will be posted a week after the winner. I’ll stop counting the results on Sunday, 11th July at 9 pm (UK time/GMT +1).

The next post will also be a lot better than this one as I get back into the swing of it. I hope anyway. 

Take care and stay sex positive my lovelies!

I’m drunk, remember when you needed me?

never in a million years did mattia think he would have to be the strict parent yet there he was grounding luke for getting into trouble at school. mattia always thought that he was going to be the fun parent, the parent that his kid could tell anything to and bond so easily with.

luke’s school called both of his parents which haven’t spoken or seen each other since the little intervention at the cosentino household. they only talked through text which was mainly about the kids schedules and stuff like that, nothing else.

sara and mattia stood outside of the school with luke, talking about what his punishment should be and what it not should be. as usual mattia wasn’t cooperating with sara’s suggestions and didn’t listen to anything she had to say.

“he can’t control his actions sometimes, mattia! you know that so don’t be so harsh on him.” sara clenched her jaw. “but he knows better! and he’s getting too old for that ADHD excuse, sara. you can’t always blame that for his behavior!” mattia raised his voice at her.

“for fucks sake, mattia, the doctor even said the ADHD is the reason he has bad behavior and can’t control it sometimes!” she reminds him. “we have to be there for him when he struggles with it, mattia. not punish him.” sara adds making mattia roll his at her.

“it doesn’t even matter anymore, sara. you’re leaving in a few days so you won’t even be here most of the time.” mattia scoffed at her and folds his arm over his chest. “you’re right. so tonight i’m taking the kids and i’m not taking them back to your place until the day i leave. so for right now luke is coming with me.” she holds luke’s hand and smirks at mattia who had steam practically coming out of his ears.

“like hell he is!” mattia tries grabbing luke but he moves away from mattia’s grip. “you can’t do this. we had an agreement, sara.” mattia sighs in annoyance. “mattia, calm down you’re acting like it’s the end of the world.” sara rolls her eyes.

it feels like it since we aren’t together anymore.

he thought to himself.

“you sure you want to go with your mom?” mattia asked his son with a stern look. luke looks up at his dad and nods, slowly going behind sara to hide from mattia who was starting to scare him.

“what a momma’s boy.” mattia mumbles to himself.

“fine. you two have fun doing whatever you guys do when i’m not around.” mattia gave them a sarcastic smile before harshly giving luke’s backpack to sara. he walks off, pulling his hair as he does so and walks to his jeep.

sara and luke walk to her car, hand in hand. once they get into the car, the eleven year old breaks down.

“i-i’m sorry, mommy. i didn’t mean to upset you.” he sobs as she wraps her arm around him. “no, baby. you didn’t upset me. your dad did.” sara sighs as she messes with her son’s hair to sooth him. “don’t ever think that i’m upset because of you.” she adds and kisses his little head.

“i don’t like living with him anymore. i feel trapped.” he confesses. “why?” sara asked. “he’s so strict and mean. i don’t like him like this. i miss how things used to be.” his words were breaking sara’s heart.

she had no idea her baby was feeling this way. usually her kids tell her everything, but now it feels like they can’t tell her anything because they’re either scared or just don’t want to worry her.

she also wanted to defend mattia since luke called him mean which wasn’t true at all. mattia is and will never be a “mean dad”. he’s just strict so his kids won’t end up in the streets in the future and wants what’s best for his kids. they’re too young to understand him but eventually will understand him when they have their own kids.

she brushed off what luke said and changed the subject.

“let’s grab some mcdonald’s for lunch and then head to my house, yeah?” she asked making a little smile appear on his face. “as long as i get a happy meal then i’ll be fine.” he remarks making her chuckle before starting her car.

they got their food from mcdonald’s and went to her house after. they ate, watched movies and luke showed sara some dances he learned from dance class.

“not to brag or anything, but i’m learning some of those tik tok dances dad did when he was younger.” luke laughs as he places his hands on his hips. “so you gonna show me or what, lukey?” she asks with a laugh.

the next thing you know he’s doing the renegade and sara’s dying laughing on her couch while her son does the renegade better than mattia, alejandro and kairi did.

“okay, you’ve officially got it in the bag.” she smirks at him while he turns a shade of pink on his checks. “now i think it’s time to pick up your brothers and sister, yeah? maybe we should build a blanket fort and order some pizza and watch some disney movies tonight.” sara suggests with a warm smile.

“you really are the fun parent.” luke comments before putting his shoes and jacket on. it was almost five o’clock when sara arrived at mattia’s house where her kids were waiting for her on the porch with huge smiles on their faces. mattia had a frown whilst leaning against a pillar with his arms folded over his chest. he stood up, telling the kids to go ahead and kissed them each goodbye before they went with their mom and drove off with her.

mattia let out a sigh before turning in his heels and walking back into his house. he went into his kitchen and opened his pantry to see what he would make for himself for dinner. he observed all the food yet he wasn’t one bit the hungriest. he thought to himself for a moment, he reached into the pantry and moved the box of cereals at the top out of the way to show bottles of liquor in the way back that he had hidden there.

for the record, mattia hadn’t had an once of alcohol in his system for almost a year thanks to his sponsor he met at a rehab center once he and sara split. mattia was supposed to throw out every bottle of alcohol he had in his household and he did for a while. then when he’d have little get togethers with his close friends or his parents and younger brother, they’d bring liquor or wine as some sort of offering or gift for the little gathering. mattia kept them out of sight and hid them where his kids or anyone else wouldn’t find them besides himself.

he was pulled out of his thoughts by his phone ringing in the island in the kitchen. he puts the cereals back on the top shelf quickly and closes the pantry before getting his phone and answering it.

“hey bitch ass, me and kairi got permission to go out tonight and we were wondering if you wanted come with us?” alejandro’s voice came from the other side of the phone. “where?” mattia asked with a sigh. “that new bar they opened up like two months ago. robert said that it’s pretty good and they play all of the throw backs. so me and kai wanted to try it out.” alejandro explained.

at the moment, mattia really didn’t want to go out, he wanted to be left alone. that’s how he’s been feeling lately, the need of wanting to feel alone. he feels like he deserves it as a form of punishment to himself for what he did to sara and what he told her. the hate for himself grew ever since the day he kissed her which was something he needed.

“you still there?” alejandro asked when mattia wasn’t responding and got lost in his own thoughts. “uh yeah, sorry i zoned out for a minute. but yeah, i’ll go with you guys. just send me the addy.” mattia said as he cleared his throat after. “great. see you there.” alejandro responded before hanging up.

mattia changed out of his sweats and into some jeans and a polo shirt before leaving his house. he pulled up to the bar and went inside looking for his best friends.

“over here!” kairi’s voice yelled was heard from the other side of the bar where he and alejandro were sitting at. mattia walked over to them with a small grin.

“this place is kind of a vibe.” mattia lightly laughed as he looked around the bar. there was color changing lights on the ceiling, a glass counter at the bar, posters of movies that came out in the early 2010’s and of music artists from 20 years ago. it was definitely something that looked like it came straight out of the 2010’s. either way it was mainly for people from that generation.

“it really is. i feel old.” alejandro laughs. “anyways, let’s get this night started yeah?” alejandro smirks at his best friends. “first round is on me.” he adds.

“dude, you know i don’t drink anymore.” mattia says through gritted teeth. “and i’m not forcing you to. i’ll get you a water if you’d like.” he winks at mattia before walking off to go get some drinks.

“how does it feel to not have one once of jack daniels in your system, tia?” kairi asks as a joke. “oh shut up, kai.” he rolls his eyes playfully in response. as the night went on and the good times occurred, about two or three hours the trio had been at the bar, a familiar face come into the bar looking pretty and lonely.

mattia nor his best friends payed attention to anyone at the bar since they were just there for each other and wanted a good time with the boys, that’s all it was going to be.

so when the boys broke out into laughter at the table they were sitting at, a few people glanced at them but not for long. however, this particular girl stayed staring at the three before she realized who they were. she drowned the shot she just bought minutes prior before walking over to them with a smile filled with confidence.

“oh my god, hey guys.” they all snapped their heads to face her. she wore a yellow tube top with a white mini skirt with her hair curled. “oh hey, kristina.” mattia said slightly awkward. kairi and alejandro immediately felt the tension between kristina and mattia and were going to find out why as soon as she leaves.

“you know her?” alejandro asks. “yeah. she’s ellie’s cheer coach.” matti explained making alejandro and kairi glance at each other. “what are you guys doing here?” she asked with a warm smile.

“it’s boys night.” kairi answers before taking a sip of his beer. “which means it’s just for the boys so... bye.” kairi said rudely which caught mattia off guard.

“bro, don’t be rude. she’s really chill.” mattia defended her which made ale and kairi even more curious in why mattia was defending a girl who wasn’t his wife, mother or daughter.

“pull up a seat. you can sit with us so none of these creeps will think you’re alone and vulnerable.” mattia told kristina with a smile which made her blush. meanwhile alejandro and kairi got even more pissed since it really was boys night and they wanted to spend time with each other. plus, alejandro and kairi are still with their wives and if the paparazzi were to barge in and take photos of them with kristina then their wives would kill them, literally.

“it’s really weird seeing you guys together in person. i remember i used to be obsessed with all of you when i was a teenager.” kristina comments. “really? why?” kairi asked which made mattia shoot him a glare.

“who was your favorite?” alejandro asked out of curiosity and took a sip of his beer. “at first it was you, alejandro. then i lost interest for some reason and went to mattia’s lane.” alejandro chocked on his beer. “wrong pipe.” he managed to say as he coughed.

“well you made the right choice. i am more handsome than these two.” mattia jokes making kristina laugh with a blush on her cheeks. kairi rolled his eyes and alejandro shook his head at how.... flirty the two were being towards each other.

“mattia, can i talk to you for a second?” kairi asked his best friend. “why? if you have to say something then say it out-“ kairi didn’t let mattia finish his sentence and instead he got up from his seat and dragged mattia away and took him outside of the bar.

“what in heaven’s sake wrong with you?” he yelled at mattia which caught him off guard. “chill out. i have no clue what you’re talking about.” mattia laughed but stopped when kairi shoves him.

“yo, what the hell?” mattia asked.

“why are you flirting with her? you two fucking on the low or what?” kairi asked in frustration. “what? hell no.” mattia answers immediately.

“she’s just a friend, kai. you’re being dramatic.” mattia rolled his eyes. “me? dramatic. i’m trying to help you, mattia!” kairi yelled.

“help me? what do you mean, help me!?” mattia raised his voice, panting as well.

“i’m trying to help you save your marriage because apparently you don’t give a shit about it! you walk around here like nothing is wrong, when it is! your family is falling apart and you don’t even know it! i hate to be the one to tell you this, bro, but if you don’t fix things with sara and your kids then you’re going to lose everything that you’ve worked so fucking hard for! and if you keep this shit up with not only kristina but with other women then i don’t want to hang around you anymore. sara’s not only your wife but she also a sister to me and alejandro. she plays a huge part in all of our lives yet you’re willing to let it go for some chick who doesn’t even know your middle name. seeing you with someone else besides sara feels like i’m betraying her. she’s been through so much and the fact that you’re not there anymore to comfort her sucks. and i get it, you guys might not get along anymore but deep down i know you two miss each other so damn much. i can tell you still love her and she loves you too. she’s the only girl who’s given you the chance to have a family of your own and more, why let that all go, mattia?”.

kairi pretty much lashed out at mattia which caught him off guard. reality had just hit mattia once again like a lacrosse stick to the head. mattia grabbed kairi’s arm before speaking.

“mind your own business. the shit that goes on in my life has nothing to do with you so stay out of it.” mattia was being stubborn which made kairi let out an annoyed sigh.

“you know what, bro? i’m done. i’m done trying to be a good friend to you and your family. i’m leaving.” kairi scoffed at his best friend and shrugged him off. he then walked away and got to his car. and if things couldn’t get worse, alejandro barged out of the bar with a stern face. he shot mattia a death glare before walking passed him and to his car.

mattia stood there and watched them drive away before going into the bar again. kristina was still sitting at the table where the boys were sitting at minutes prior. she sat there awkwardly but then it all washed away when mattia sat back down next to her.

“what happened?” kristina asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder. “nothing. it’s not important.” mattia answered lowly. “well in that case, let me buy you a drink?” she smirks at him.

mattia wasn’t thinking anymore at this point. he needed closure and wasn’t getting it so he nodded because he didn’t want to feel things anymore and that’s what the alcohol always provided him.

it always took the pain away.

the two chatted and shared a few beers together until mattia realized how late it was getting. he definitely was drunk but he could care less. he up from his stool but was pushed down by kristina.

“come onnn, just a little longer.” she slurred and licked her lips. “naw, i-i can’t. i have to get home.” mattia rubs his temples and moves away from her grip. “mattia, baby, just one last drink and i’ll take you home.” she got closer to him and whispered in his ear. he got goosebumps down his spine but not the good kind. it felt wrong to him, even though he was drunk he wasn’t wasted enough sleep with her.

besides, he couldn’t do that to his sara.

“no. i appreciate the company but i want to go home.” he forced himself to say and let out a burp right after. she then tried grabbing his hand and placing it on her ass but he immediately moved his hand and pushed her away harshly.

“what the fuck is wrong with you? i have a wife!” he raised his voice at her making a few people turn their direction then looked away. “a wife that doesn’t love you anymore? yeah, she’s a keeper.” kristina laughs at him for being pathetic about sara’s love for him.

“she’s a worthless whore, mattia. when are you going to realize that?” she added with a scoff. mattia apparently become a little bit more sober once he heard what she said about his wife which boiled his blood.

“the only whore i know is you, kristina. sara is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life, she’s more of a woman than you’ll ever be. and if i hear you say another bad thing about her then i won’t hesitate to tell your boss that you tried sleeping with one of your cheerleader’s parent. got it?” he said through gritted teeth and with smoke coming out of his ears because of how mad he was.

there was no way he was going to let anyone talk bad about sara, together or not. he wouldn’t let that slide.

all kristina did was nodded and whimpered when mattia let go of her harshly.

mattia doesn’t know how but somehow he drove safely to sara’s house. the whole way there he couldn’t stop thinking about her. about how much he needed her right now because he had no clue what to do. his best friends are mad at him and are willing to end their friendship if he doesn’t get things together and some girl tried hitting on him. not only that, he touched her which made him feel disgusted with himself.

the kids were in bed, the blanket fort was cleaned up and put away for the next time they built it again, sara was cleaning her dinning room table which had empty boxes of pizza and empty cups that once held juice for her kids during dinner.

she heard a knock at her door which scared her since it was now passed midnight and no one in their right mind would be out this late. she walked towards her front door and checked the peephole to see a drunk mattia at her doorstep. she did a double take and checked again because she thought she was going crazy. once she realized that she wasn’t going crazy and that he was actually waiting for her to open the door she mentally prepared herself for anything that could happen.

she opened the door slowly, he looked up at her and his vision blurred with the tears that were dwelling in his eyes the moment he saw her.

“mattia, what are you doing here?” she asked softly. he didn’t answer her, he simply walked into the house and plopped down on her couch. usually, sara would’ve snapped at him for coming into her house and acting like he owned the place but no, she didn’t snap. instead, she went to sit next to him and observed his drunk state.

“i thought you weren’t drinking anymore.” she said quietly. he took a sip of his beer before speaking to her.

“i wasn’t until i needed something to take the pain away.” he answered but before she could respond he spoke again. “i promise this will be the only time i drink again. i’ve just been having a hard time getting through this.” he gestured is hands between them.

“why’d you come then?” she asked.

“because i needed to see you.” he answered bluntly. “i needed to see you so i could at least feel the tiniest amount of comfort.” his voice cracked slightly. her jaw dropped and she didn’t know what to say. she wasn’t expecting him to say that as all, how was she supposed to respond?

they sat in silence for a moment before drunk mattia spoke again.

“i’m drunk, remember when you needed me?” he turns to face her but she was already staring at him with tears in her eyes. he hated seeing her cry, it hurt him a lot to see her like this.

“don’t cry, baby. you’re too beautiful to be crying.” he leans over and wipes her tears away with his thumb. “too beautiful.” he repeats as he wipes her tears.

“i’m sorry for doing this to us. i promise i’ll fix it.” he adds and looks into her eyes. “we’re gonna get through this.” he moves a strand of her hair behind her ear gently. he looks at her like she’s his entire world and she is. always has been and always will be.

he pulled her into him and held her as she cried into his chest. they didn’t talk at all once she stopped crying. they fell asleep together on the couch, mattia holding her close as if she was going to slip away from him. holding her close as if he was protecting her from the monsters of the world.

for the first time in months, they slept with ease. plus, sara didn’t have a nightmare.

and when she woke up in the morning, he was gone.
