Whew, went unconscious right after lunch and just woke up...I hate it when that happens.

When my brother went to college he and his family lived in an old house in Stillwater OK. When we visited you could take a toy car or ball and roll it from the front of the house to the back, and it would return to you. Remember him and my dad crawling around under the house and jacking up places and adding boards between the foundation and house to level the house. They left a jack under the front door and would have to re-adjust it every spring then fall or the front door would stick closed.

When house hunting for a wheel chair accessible home it was quite a challenge. The houses that claimed wheel chair accessibility were jokes, all it meant was they had hand rails in the bathroom. My relator ended up sending me new listings in my price range so I could drive by and see if the front door was where I could at least make it accessible before having us go do a walk thru. Ended up finding the house we are in now because we looked at another house in the neighborhood. Drove around the neighborhood and this one had a for sale by owner sign in the yard. When Mom very first saw the house she said, "That's it!" Turned out to be the most accessible house we found. Freaked my relator out, she didn't like dealing with a for sale by owner, AND we signed the contract on the house on Friday the 13th and closed on Halloween.
