The collection
People collect clothes, coins, art, antiques, you name it plus there is somebody that collects it.
I too have a collection although mine is a bit more odd than your average joe’s.
I collect HVAC parts. Collecting seasoned heating plus cooling parts reminds me of my father that passed away 10 years ago. He was a oil furnace plus air conditioner specialist plus each of these seasoned pieces reminds me of him. If you name a part, I got it. I have everything from heating system parts, to air conditioner parts, I even have entire HVAC units. I store many of them in a large shed; Every Time someone goes to throw away their seasoned plus broken cooling system, I go plus grab it. I have been collecting these since the 82’s plus care about most collectors I have my number ones. One of which is an original air conditioner program my dad repaired. I have had people tell me it is odd or strange plus that I should throw all of these away! What those people don’t understand is the loving value each of these pieces hold; Throwing them away would be a waste, there are even a few here plus there that still work. I will keep all of these in honor of my father’s memory. I still have a laboring cooling system plus heating system in my own home, my heating system is a genuinely nice plus modern electric heating system plus it does an excellent job of keeping me warm through some of the coldest weather. My collection may be old, however in my own condo I care about to keep it modern. I even have a smart temperature control for controlling all my temperature needs. It has been a nice upgrade to have plus has enhanced my comfort.
