Many of the homes in Corbett are thankful to have Sherri and her husband Lonny around. The owners of Perfect Climate Heating and Cooling are here to help us enjoy our investment to the best degree (ha ha) possible! Did you know they also do plumbing?? The local business that is located in Springdale has an interesting background story. After dissolving the partnership of another heating and cooling business in 1996, Sherri and Lonny started up Perfect Climate out in Oregon City. By 1998, they were Corbett folk. Sherri said they loved the "Small community, big feel" Corbett had to offer. Purchasing the home that Dale Burkholder grew up in on Salzman Road, they fully remodeled it while running their business out of the shop on the property. After the business grew, they transplanted to Gresham. It took only a short time for them to realize that was not where they wanted to be. Heading back to Corbett, they purchased 35 acres on Lucas Road. Purchasing additional land and a house across the road from their farm, they built their beautiful new shop. When the wind storm two years ago crushed the home on the shop's property, they rebuilt the replacement home on the back acreage. Now the smaller, newer home beckons them to sell off the 4800 sq. ft. home and 35 acres they currently reside in while running the business. Sherri says the farm and Perfect Climate are both full time jobs and she finds it hard to balance both, "especially when the cows get out!" Both of the Hutchison kids attend Corbett, but daughter Kylie also attends CAL in Gresham to study nursing. Sherri tells me that she so appreciates that the community has accepted their family and business. She enjoys "giving back" by being involved as the Treasurer on the July 4th Board. Hearing her talk about Corbett, I don't think we need to worry about finding a new plumber anytime soon!
