Oh my I think I am about to faint, catch me...
Why does everything for handicap people costs so damn much? WHY? And before anyone asks, no the VA wont pay for an elevator. lol
So, pay off beds, pay off van and then maybe, just maybe we can get the elevator. I am a freakazoid when it comes to too much debt. I don't like a bunch of bills staring at me. *sigh*

I understand anyone wanting their independence but what is down in that basement that he wants to get to so bad? That is, unless basements are really different in your neck of the woods. Here, there's a washing machine, a dryer and maybe a pool table. That's it. If someone told me I could never go down to the basement again, I'd be like "Okay".
