If I close the bathroom door Banner scratches at the door the whole time I’m in the bathroom. If I leave it open he lies down just outside the bathroom and is content. Sometimes I see his nose push back the shower curtain to check on me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my wife and I bought this house we never even gave the stairs a thought. Then my mom and dad came over to see the house and mom stayed in the car while dad checked out the house. Eventually I had to put a stairlift in for my wife. We have acres, there was no need to build the house like this other than style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted August 13, 2022 Share #56 Posted August 13, 2022 My 80 something FIL and my mom both have to deal with stairs. My wife and I have both already slipped on our stairs. My sister fell down our grandparents’ basement stairs when she was very young. Those things are definitely a hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted August 13, 2022 Share #57 Posted August 13, 2022 Ok, devil’s advocate here…what is wrong with renting until you are sure you’ll want to stay in the area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe need to reinvest monies from sale of home for tax purposes. I know it is different for primary and secondary homes. It will a consideration for us if we ever sell the south place, which is not our primary residence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have a year to turn around and buy a new home after their sale or face taxes. So they could rent for 6 months but that'd mean having to store most their stuff in storage and moving twice in a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old houses have them, which is nice. Carholes are nice, too. here is a nice attic for you. 402 Walnut Street Jackson Tennessee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we built our home, I looked at LOTS of house plans. Everything we need is on the 1st floor, but we still have a second floor. The other thing that I considered... When the house was still being framed, we were still working out the details of the master bathroom, the final design was laid out on the floor. I asked the builder "Will a wheel chair fit thru the entire bathroom? WoBG and the builder looked at me and they thought I was joking, and they started laughing. I told them... No, I'm serious. (I double checked... later, a wheelchair would fit) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I take a shower, I usually leave the door open, and she will lay down on the bath mat. Not sure why it is mainly the bathroom where she gets on alert, but she's pretty consistent. Even if it is a quick pee - she'll hear me lift the toilet seat, and come running from upstairs if she isn't already underfoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gf's dog follows me into the bathroom and just hangs out when I am in there. It is weird, but dogs are weird, so it fits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
