Yeah, Liese, I have always figured with my house I am screwed if anything happens to me--it's on three levels, requires several steps to get into the house, and there's no bathroom on the main level! So if I ever break a leg, I'll have to stay somewhere else until I can climb stairs.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Entrances can be changed. there are a couple houses here that ha e well made brick ramps that blend into the landscape. 6 stairs might be ok now, but there are some nice ways to redo an entrance.

Yes, and ramps can also be built inside if they ever become necessary, but hopefully that is a long off, far away problem, and honestly one that I really can't think about right now.

Sounds like you've got a good handle on what you need and what you can achieve. I think you'll find the right house!

Hey, Sean's back! YAY!
I have no input about houses since I kinda just moved into dan's and had no say. But I think it's your HOME; you should be comfortable in it.

Sean!!! Welcome back!!!
JZ, i suspect a friend or relative took over the blowhard's email account to bow them out gracefully. Kinda awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's 12 degrees here. I so don't want to go outside.

It's 11 here but it feels like 2 - according to weather.com.
And we're under a winter storm warning.

I guess I can't complain about my 22 feels like 8 weather today.
Our realtor has set up some house visits for Sunday, but he is busy Saturday, which means we can go do something else without feeling guilty. Yay!

And now that I'm somewhere with a window I can say that it has started snowing. Very tiny, business-like flakes.
We're supposed to get alot of snow.
