We're considering moving to a single story home, but for many other reasons

Looks like I'm stuck with my imbalance and now the hip surgery adding to it, I'm pretty much limited to the first floor of the home. Diagnosis from the ENT pretty much confirms it. Oh well, that's life, make the best of it.

MrBayAreaHokie • 08/14/23 09:13 PM ET
Remember, the cost of electric is only going up since we're closing down...
EDGEMAN • 08/14/23 08:11 PM ET
We should put filters in the auto exhaust system to trap the carbon. Then
IB4TECH • 08/14/23 09:05 PM ET
