Works in theory! Practice? That's something else
Yesterday it was starting to pour and my wife went to pull the shutters on the porch down.
She was barefoot and the tiles were slick. She slipped and her fall was somewhat cushion as the inside of her arm came down hard on the back of a chair, it looks like she was hit with a baseball bat... She's okay....it could have been much worse.
Anyway, it got me to thinking about what might I be doing to make the place a bit safer as we're not quite as young as we used to be. What can I do to make my mother-in-law's house safer (She's in her 90s)... all of course without detracting from the look they want. A lot of the problem is even in identifying where a problem might exist.
So, in the vein of Why didn't I think of that? Tips & Tricks! this thread is dedicated to tricks & tips to make your house safer.
