Garage
When we bought this house we were looking for something the easiest to make so you could get a wheelchair in and out the front door, and around in the house. We only saw 2 houses that were "handicapped" and they were for handicapped children. The only thing we had to do with this house was install hinges on one of the bedrooms so the door would open a little bigger and put a few hand rails in one of the bathrooms.

My only regret is I let my brother I work for and my relator talk me out of a house in Nichols Hills. That is a upscale neighborhood in OKC. The house was really cheap for the area because there were a few slab cracks. I asked around and the worst pier job to fix the slab was about $10K at the time. It was 3000 sqft instead of the 1750 I have now that I got for the same price, $80K. The garage did not have a step into the house. The front door was one of those half steps. The driveway was coming up and needed redone so I figured I could redo the drive and the front walk and porch making it roll in. One of the neat things was the hallways were 6 ft wide and each of the 3 bedrooms had their own bath. And the baths were each big enough to be accessible. There was also a guest half bath or powder room as they call them. Every once in a while I would drive by the house. They did the pier thing and that was it and the house sold 7 years later for $320K. At that time my current house had gone to $120K. Still needs a new driveway poured today.

Don't understand people that leave their cars parked outside. Just one of their cars is typically worth more that all the stuff they keep in their garage.
