[quote=Anonymous]Your mom already agreed to change the house configuration so that things are all on one level, thereby addressing your dad's concerns about the stairs. The problem is the he "shot this down" so you need to work on him till he agrees. Frankly, the moving costs can be really high and there's no need for them to do that unless it's absolutely necessary. Spend those resources to make the ground floor a self-contained safe unit. The upstairs can then become bunk beds or whatever as guest rooms for family visits. Use this opportunity to declutter them. Start clearing out the basement. You might be able to install shelving and storage bins that can contain the sentimental value things she isn't ready to part with as you pare down the ground floor. Oh, and hire a yard service so your dad is off the hook. [/quote]
