My legs, hips and knees hurt for weeks after. And I know for the last 10 years of her life my M-I-L had not been to her upstairs, because she just couldn't make the climb. Makes for a sad waste of space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655693006167609215.post-69348458140365391432011-12-17T22:58:14.774-06:002011-12-17T22:58:14.774-06:00Well Cindie - I think I'm going to have to lea...Well Cindie - I think I'm going to have to learn this one on my own. It's such a good time to buy, I can only hope that if I buy the wrong one - the market will get better and it will be easier to sell without taking a bath. We will see but I appreciate your concern!BetteJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650981249204116251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655693006167609215.post-80314861090152322632011-12-17T01:02:27.257-06:002011-12-17T01:02:27.257-06:00Hi Betty, Ever since you wrote, the first time, ab...Hi Betty, Ever since you wrote, the first time, about looking for a new place I have had this on my mind! I too, fall! DO NOT buy a place with stairs! As you get older, those stairs will become a curse. You'll wind up keeping "bed clothes" downstairs and sleeping on your couch. When your "get up and go has got up and went" you'll be so sorry. Our kids wanted stairs when we bought this house ( we were in our early forties). Those stairs showed themselves as very high mountains as we got older, thank God we had the sense to follow our "old" vision! We bought our place with only 2 steps in a few different places. Believe me, one day I will be calling 911 with a call of, "I've fallen and I can't get up!!!" Follow your better judgement, buy safe and not sorry! Love, CindieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
