      66+yr olds with arthritic ones (and for perfectly healthy, 6' males with their arms
      and hands full of grocery bags);
   that offers counter tops and closet shelves that can be readily and inexpensively
      lowered or raised should the need arise;

   that offers a first floor office"; or guest bedroom with a bath that has a slip-proof

      master bedroom thereby allowing you to ... Have your Home for Life.
