Now consider these steps to make your home the home of a lifetime:
• Plan for your future. Think short term and long term as you plan your dream.
• And work the plan. Decide to make changes to your home - now - and ones that could allow you the option to "stay in place" should that decision have to be made by you for yourself, a family member or friend.
• And finally set a budget for this year to make even the most basic of changes,... then start working the plan.
• Here are ten cost effective things to do:
(1) Change all the knobs on your doors to handles. It just makes sense for so many reasons.
And in some cities, like Vancouver Canada, it is required by their building codes.
(2) Choose finishes, paints, lighting, building materials and flooring that reduce maintenance.
You don't want to be up on a tall ladder or down on the floor unless you can't help it.
(3) Plan to use balance bars not only in the shower but all thru the house.
They can add safety and security and if you choose those that are stylish, you'll add beauty.
