Where There Is a Problem There Is a Solution



We are trying to get our eggs in order, so to speak, so my sister's house will be handicapped friendly when she returns home from rehab.  The front of the house has two flights of steps, one up a bank and one up to the house which would be impossible as she is now.  The side of the house is the kitchen door, which has only two steps.  We decided it would be easier to put a second driveway leading to the kitchen door, and there, maybe put in a ramp if needed.   

We went to the county D.O.T. to discuss our proposal and  they gave us a permit if we jump through a few hoops and hurdles.     We lined up a tree man to cut down trees that would be in the way of a new driveway and lined up a paving contractor.  

After discussing it over with Joe Jenkins at the dog park I think it might be simpler, cheaper, and easier, if we leave one tree standing  closer to the house and tie a rope to a limb.  That way Frances can grab the rope and swing into the back door.  Problem solved!
