We moved Gene’s parents to the farm and we are building them a cottage cabin. We are doing a shed to house build. In this video we will be sharing an update on our progress.
Many are having to make concessions and going back to family communal living. We just finished building my daughter and son in law a tiny home on our property. My son and his family live in an apartment above my husbands shop. My MIL in a mobile home here also. Neighbor is daughter of my heart and her family. We call it “The Hill”. It helped them all in rough times and hopefully will help us as we get older in the future. I do understand doing all you can, being exhausted, and yet knowing you’re doing the right thing. God bless Gene and Pop with strength and fortitude. 💙🙏👩🌾
This is SO where we are. Lost our house in a house fire, need to rebuild, trying to figure out how my aging, less mobile mother and disabled brother might need to fit into that picture...
Blessings. My son and daughter in law found a piece of land and my sister my granddaughter and myself will work it make a little homestead in Jesus name 🙏💕 may the Lord bless us all with his grace
This cabin is looking fabulous! Who needs a big old house to care for when you live on a farm. The outdoor space makes a cabin feel like a castle! I’m loving this whole story. ❤️
This is just wonderful. Great video. Just got to say " great parents make great kids." The love that you and Gene are giving Mom and Pop is so awesome. The Farm Cottage is beautiful. The location on the farm is so peaceful and perfect. Please keep us updated on progress.🤗😘
Tracey, you are a gem and your MIL is as cute as they make em!! Every time you catch her in a video she makes either smile or laugh. I can see where Gene gets his sense of humor. I hope y’all have many more years to enjoy each other on your farm.
Thank you for sharing the message about moving your In-Laws to the farm. I was fortunate to retire and combine houses with my mother-in-law, who was then 91(and lived halfway across the country from where we lived then). We were blessed to have five excellent years with her, which meant that she was able to be in her home at a time when others might have to go to an assisted living facility. She got to, once again, enjoy having chickens because we could care for them for her. I do not regret a moment we got to enjoy and help her when she needed it. Regarding accessibility, we made sure to have things like ramps in place before we needed them and found out this allowed her to walk outside and around her house; she had been avoiding climbing the stairs to her porch.
This is so cool for your Pop and Mom to live in. Just absolutely adorable. A white picket fence in front of Mr Cool with a beautiful small tree planted in front of the fence and climbing roses all around would be so neat in the front of their new home. There’s so many ways to cottage up that home. I’m so excited for them. ❤
It was so precious what mom was saying at the end. It's so important to give God the praise in good & difficult times. He is the one who carries us through the storms of life so very important to continue to praise Him when things are going good! Bless you Tracy. You are a very special & gentle hearted person. I can see why Jason & Brooke adore you!❤
It’s beautiful! I would enjoy living there. Ya’ll are such good, kind children to them. Very loving. Unfortunately, a lot of children don’t care or take care of their parents in their older years these days. ♥️🙏🏻
Just imagine old time settlers digging trenches by hand . Now a days it's much more efficient to dig with the machines . Your parents are fortunate to be able to move closer to the people that can help & love them !!!
It's sad that they sold their big home & have almost no money to build a shed to live in. But I'm glad they have family to help take care of them & gave them a beautiful spot to live. Thank you.
Your channel just popped up on my feed. My husband was a building contractor for 50 years so I totally understand what you are undertaking. We recently moved closer to my daughter and son-in-law because of health issues. I wish we had a situation like your in-laws so we could be on the same property as our kids. God bless you and your husband. I really believe you will be greatly rewarded someday. One thing I know for sure besides the Lord our family is the most important thing.
Good choice going with the beadboard! Lends that "cottage feel", too! Also, it IS much cheaper, when you consider all the time & expense with just drywall. Excited to see it all come together! "Cottage Cabin" is a perfect description for their new home! I love how he describes exactly where all the appliances and furniture will be!
So happy to see you guys doing this ❤ our son has been wanting to get land and have a family compound, easier way to keep an eye on us old folks! Love this😀
This journey is amazing! I'm so happy for Mom and Pop's and their cabin! I'm always amazed at your Tracy, a wonderful lady of many many talents. Having them on the property I know gives peace of mind for your whole family. This is all a labor of love and it absolutely shows!
So much progress on the little cabin. I also love the singing and dancing. Gave me a chuckle. Reminds me of those singing carpenters that would pop up in my Facebook feed from time to time. 💖💖💖
The Singing Carpenters just did a videi with Bill Gaither for Christmas. Really nice. They also did a FB live chat with their wives just before Christmas. I love listenung to them.
WHAT A WONDERFUL FAMILY WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE A NEW HOME FOR MOM AND POP....I BELIEVE THEY WILL LOVE IT AND I KNOW THEY WILL ENJOY THE LOCATION....GOD BLESS YOU ALL 😊 ❤ ♥ 🙏
So exciting, yes it is amazing how that machine can carry and move buildings. So excited for you all. The shed/house is so pretty. Love the front windows and the over all design. Nice interior design Tracy. Great design. Like the ceiling design. This is a good size room. Nice flooring also. This is perfect for them. The deck area is going to be so nice. Love the location where the house sits. Like the high ceilings ... I agree, Cottage Cabin is best ... Love the flooring, perfect. all the best.
How fun that singing is. 😂 Glad you have them living close you’ll never regret it. I had Momma and so grateful for that. Wish she was still alive. What a lovely place. Thank you for sharing.
Awe him saying you excited baby and her saying I'm so excited papa and thr hug and stuff that was just to sweet to see seeing the love them two have for one another still with all the years they have been together and married it's just beautiful to see it truly is
Thank the Lord for all y’all doing for mom and pops! it’s great having your parents with you while you can. I got my mom living with me in the house I chose moving here to Georgia, as it has its own little apartment downstairs so she can have her independence and a little bit of privacy even in her 80s. Everything’s coming along nice! Gean and his parents are doing a wonderful job and Chase and everybody else helping over there to get things done as they have. Looking good many positive vibes going out to y’all from myself and my family here in Warner Robins. Love you, been lurking and not commenting just too busy these days but still doing all I can to support you in the channel by continuing to watch and like your videos as well as share them when I can where I can.
You are very generous and supportive of your parents. Its a refreshing and heartwarming thing to do, especially as I'm a retired nurse who has seen too many elders deposited in nursing homes. One suggestion with the open ceilings, is to close off the bathroom. This will provide more privacy, restrict the humidity from the showers, enable the space to be warmed with a small heater and limit odors through the house. It looks wonderful. All the best!
I told you you would like the beadboard, for the looks and for the cost. I used it in my tiny house and used molding to go inbetween the panels i also put on the ceiling- making it a barrel ceiling.
Did this for my girls and me when my husband left in 2013… sold it last year when we moved to Ky. Now fixing to start another for my Mom up the mountain, completely handicap accessible. - Pop seems so very excited❤️this video made my day !!! So thankful I found this channel !
I live in my cabin on my sister and BIL land. Its amazing!! Its a Graceland shed to cabin. One of the best ideas ever!!! There is nothing like them bringing that shed into its place!! So exciting!! Thats so important to see familiar things in the new place. Very smart move.
I am so impressed with your Cottage Cabin. As time progresses, I hope you are able to add gutters and downspouts. Water running off the roof will cause so many problems. You are doing the build in affordable stages, and I hope gutters are in your ultimate plans. Enjoy the fruits of your labor with a beautiful and cozy home for Genes mom and dad.
What a pretty place to have a tiny home! I’m sure you feel better having them so close! Their bedroom is really big! Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
I have to agree with the comment below. People need to pull their families together again, if they possibly can. Then each generation can help the other. You did a great job drawing up the plans for the whole inside, Tracey. A person really can live in a much smaller space, with everything you need. Can't wait to see the progress. They are very lucky and blessed that you both can help them out like this.. God Bless you Tracey.
I had a 16x36 shed to Studio delivered in mid October. We are on the same path friend! Had the company do my electric and light service. Also had them do my wall. Have a hybrid mini split. Did plywood instead of sheet rock. Used found trim boards, bought so much from Habitat for Humanity. Almost done, but have to do the plumbing in Spring as we are in our below zero winter season! My kids have helped immensely! Happy for you to have the folks close to home!
It’s a beautiful thing you and gene are doing for mom and pop…family is so important…having health issues is no fun I know as I’m 73 and disabled for last 9 yrs and have my granddaughter living with me as my carer and my daughter…her mum inly lives 5 mins away….so having mom and pop living in your farm independently is wonderful…a wrap around porch will be lovely and is like outdoor living space as you can have b que area and seating…god bless you all c and I hope everything works out….
This is a wonderful idea♥️ I am looking forward to the finished product. I have been contemplating something similar. I live alone in a 4 bedroom home. It's just more than I want to care for. I love cozy and practical. Y'all are doing a fabulous job!
So smart with the wider doorways. Also make's it much, much easier if a walker is needed later on. Another thing to have early on is blocking/studs extra in the shower & toilet walls, makes it super easy to put in grab bars later when knees & hips don't want to work as well. Smart design
Great video. Love watching all the progress. Very pretty and peaceful. A tremendous amount of planning and consideration for their house. Beautiful spot. Thanks for taking us along.
I love this so much.Who couldn't be happy there?:-)What a blessing to be able to help your parents like that,and how blessed you will be,because of it. They are so happy to be there. All I would need is that porch,a little heaven on earth:-) God bless you all Donna
Y'all have done such an amazing amount of work in such a short time!!!! It is looking soooo sooo great! I'm so happy to see them happy. Great choices in everything and the views are wonderful. Blessings to keep the good work going!
I love this video and I love y'all too. I learned of y'all from cog Hill Farm. They are my number one family that I watch. I know that I'm going to love all your videos I'm watching from Paris Tennessee with love!
That is so neat! You'll be happy when it's finished just have them close to you and safe and sound.cherish your or his parents forever life isn't certain mine are gone and his also.loving Yas videos.
Just found your video today, I love it! Such a wonderful thing you are doing, a true labor of love ❤️. I’m from Mom & Pop’s generation and I’m very proud of you! God Bless You.
Aww! Loved Pop singing along on the Elvira song! My stepdad had Parkinson’s Disease! I’m a new subscriber and it’s a little after 4am I’m off to work in a little while. I am working after many years on Social Security but my husband lost his job summer 2021 because the owner sold the farm he managed and our house was part of his salary. We had to scramble to move ended up in his brothers tiny camper. My son and daughter-in-love said we could put something here and we chose a shed home! We did a few basics and are living in it while renovating it as we get money a little at a time to fix it! I cried watching your video! You and your husband are truly heroes for helping them ❤❤❤❤
Our floor plan has been our greatest challenge I got a side utility with door in middle 12x24 and we are still trying to figure out how to place everything! My profile pic on here is day it was delivered!
Oh my goodness Leslie! I’m so sorry for your struggle. I pray God sends you unbelievable deals and the provision to finish your home. I’m so glad you found us! Welcome to our channel
We are doing much the same thing except hubby and I are selling our 2 properties and buying a bigger piece of land. Both make a total of 10 acres. We are looking for at least 30 to 50 acres. My son and daughter along with our grands will have their homes and we will have ours far enough apart for privacy but close enough to walk to each others places. All will be over basements for storage. Then eventually we will have a community "kitchen" for family get togethers, canning etc. It will have a TV area with a washer & dryer. We are going to insulate ourselves but the company will install a vapor barrier before they side it. Hubby wants to use Rockwool. We have a 14x40 building that someone did the pink insulation but didn't put a vapor barrier and now we have to gut the building and have it spray foamed. We use it for storage. It's 20 years old now. We will have 2 mini spits. One at each end and tied to one outside unit. We are in northern middle TN.
@@justdigitfarms Thank you. I forgot to say ours will be 16x60. The reason for at least 2 mini splits. lol My son is high functioning autistic so when we are gone (I'm 60 and hubby is 62) the family can support each other physically, mentally and hubby and I are setting them up as self sufficient as possible. Canning, dehydrating, freeze drying as well as a large garden with veggies, fruits and my daughter is learning about wild edibles, tinctures etc. We even make our own soaps. :D You have a blessed day and be weather aware. It looks like we are once again in the danger zone.
I'VE BEEN WATCHING RUclips VIDEOS ON TINY HOMES AND OTHER SMALL PLACES TOO ! WE TRIED TO DOWN SIZE EVERYTHING BUT, OUR HOUSE DIDN'T SELL & THAT'S OK, WE STILL HAVES A PLACE TO LIVES IN & MAYBE WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR OUR PROPERTY CAUSE OUR SEPTIC SYSTEM CAN HANDLE 2 EXTRA ROOMS AND SO, WHO KNOWS WHAT WE CAN DO & I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT MY MOM WON'T EVERS GOES TO A NURSING HOME WHEN SHE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF HER SELF !!
They had a lovely home, moving anyone who has lived in a home for many yours is overwhelming. Love the style of the house. Watching them move the house to the spot made me a little nervous.
I have a mini split in an apartment in my daughter’s house. The outside unit sits on a concrete pad outside on a different wall and different floor than the inside unit. This would help the looks of the front of your home. I love my mini split. It’s been running great for over three years. Js. IMO
Hi. I'm new to your podcast. I love to see families work together...and a father and son singing while their working is just warms my heart. My parents have already moved their residence to heaven, so I don't have to think about their care taking. This is a great idea and nothing is better than living in the country. I grew up in the country in a little farming community where everybody new everybody and watched out for each other. Now I live in town and don't know half my neighbors. I really admire what y'all are doing. I wish you all the blessings God can give you and plenty of good health and happiness. From a Nana in Texas. 💕🇺🇸
I am a caregiver for My 97 yrs old mama. Both parents were on walkers. When building access to house go ahead and build ramps. You will need it. If he is a vet check VA for help with ramps.
I am just sharing what we discovered late. They had to remodel the bathroom. Don't forget access for handicapped shower with handrails. Better to plan going in than. Later.
I know that now. I wrote the note before I finished watching. Like I said I have been facing struggles for my parents. After the fact my parents spent 10 k to remodel the bathroom. Ramps were priced about 6k. With elderly parents things can be fine in the a m and change quickly. I was living at my house living my life. I got a call my daddy broke his leg. I left my house never to spend another night in my house six years ago.

This is what I call living. I wish I could get a big piece of property and do this with my family. So awesome.
This is SO where we are. Lost our house in a house fire, need to rebuild, trying to figure out how my aging, less mobile mother and disabled brother might need to fit into that picture...

This is so cool for your Pop and Mom to live in. Just absolutely adorable. A white picket fence in front of Mr Cool with a beautiful small tree planted in front of the fence and climbing roses all around would be so neat in the front of their new home.

I love that tiny home for your folks.
Family needs to together always! ♥️🙏
We agree!

We are so glad to have them on the farm with us!
😂.. One butt kitchen. Mom I'm stealing that one.
Beautiful Mom and Pops😘👍such a Blessing.
This is so loving of them to make their parents a better living facility. God bless them and I know Mom and Dad appreciate all their kindness.
It's sad that they sold their big home & have almost no money to build a shed to live in. But I'm glad they have family to help take care of them & gave them a beautiful spot to live. Thank you.
The whole operation is just phenomenal, God Bless you kids, God sure gave y’all some smarts! I’m so proud of all of you!!!❤
Just ❤️ Pop and Mom. Congratulations on their new home and yes Mom is right what wonderful kids she has.

Thank you Missy. We love you

Love what you all have done that going to be a sweet home an know it will be lovely out side when you do the yard too!
Oh Tracy I loved this video. Glad mom and pop are doing so well. Thank you for keeping us updated. I hope you all had good holidays. God bless.
OMG! Giving me A HEARTATTACK MOVING THE SHED!! YOU GUYS ROCK! WTH! I CANT BELIEVE YOU ALL ! WAS HOLDING MY BREATH THE WHOLE TIME! Lol ❤😂
😂
I live in my cabin on my sister and BIL land. Its amazing!! Its a Graceland shed to cabin. One of the best ideas ever!!!
There is nothing like them bringing that shed into its place!! So exciting!!
Thats so important to see familiar things in the new place. Very smart move.
I am so impressed with your Cottage Cabin. As time progresses, I hope you are able to add gutters and downspouts. Water running off the roof will cause so many problems. You are doing the build in affordable stages, and I hope gutters are in your ultimate plans. Enjoy the fruits of your labor with a beautiful and cozy home for Genes mom and dad.
What a pretty place to have a tiny home! I’m sure you feel better having them so close! Their bedroom is really big! Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
Thank you for posting this video, a good solution for multi family living.
Our pleasure!
So great to see what you are doing for your parents and I enjoyed seeing the process. Lots of work for a loving cause.
I have to agree with the comment below. People need to pull their families together again, if they possibly can. Then each generation can help the other.

You could always bump their living room out a few more feet. Looking good. Pop, is scaring me on that ladder.
That looks awesome and will be such a good thing for them to be close to y'all. I call my dad 'Pop', too. He's as adorable as your 'Pop'. :)
Thank you for sharing.
A little cottage in the forest looks wonderful! I plead the blood of Jesus over you all, over this building project, and over the finances.
Thank you so much
Looks great. Love Gene parents
Mom @the end is so cute!❤
I had a 16x36 shed to Studio delivered in mid October. We are on the same path friend! Had the company do my electric and light service. Also had them do my wall. Have a hybrid mini split. Did plywood instead of sheet rock. Used found trim boards, bought so much from Habitat for Humanity. Almost done, but have to do the plumbing in Spring as we are in our below zero winter season! My kids have helped immensely!
Happy for you to have the folks close to home!
That is awesome!
I can not wait to see the cottage complete. It will be beautiful.
you all are a sweet blessing to his folk,s good job
It’s a beautiful thing you and gene are doing for mom and pop…family is so important…having health issues is no fun I know as I’m 73 and disabled for last 9 yrs and have my granddaughter living with me as my carer and my daughter…her mum inly lives 5 mins away….so having mom and pop living in your farm independently is wonderful…a wrap around porch will be lovely and is like outdoor living space as you can have b que area and seating…god bless you all c and I hope everything works out….
You guys are doing a great job!!!
The look of joy on their faces is priceless ❤❤❤
This is a wonderful idea♥️ I am looking forward to the finished product. I have been contemplating something similar. I live alone in a 4 bedroom home. It's just more than I want to care for. I love cozy and practical. Y'all are doing a fabulous job!
I love it. This is what family is about❤️ You do what you can do. God bless🙏
Love the hard work y'all are doing a wonderful job.
He sings, digs ditches 'by hand', and paints, too!
He’s a keeper😉
It means a lot that y’all are so caring and thoughtful. Bless you.❤️❤️❤️❤️
So smart with the wider doorways. Also make's it much, much easier if a walker is needed later on.
Another thing to have early on is blocking/studs extra in the shower & toilet walls, makes it super easy to put in grab bars later when knees & hips don't want to work as well. Smart design
Thank you
Gene reminds me so much of my dad. ❤
Love it! Maybe need to look in to this for Eric’s mom and sister.
I’m so excited for y’all 😊
Great video. Love watching all the progress. Very pretty and peaceful. A tremendous amount of planning and consideration for their house. Beautiful spot. Thanks for taking us along.
I love this so much.Who couldn't be happy there?:-)What a blessing to be able to help your parents like that,and how blessed you will be,because of it.
They are so happy to be there.
All I would need is that porch,a little heaven on earth:-)
God bless you all

I think it’s lovely y’all are willing capable and loving enough to do this for them. Many cannot or won’t. Precious memories
The cottage is so nice! It will be a super nice home for your inlaws! I can't wait to see it finished and them in it!
It is looking so so nice. Know they are getting anxious to get moved in. It’s a beautiful home. 🥰
Love the way this has come along. ❤❤❤❤❤ Mom and Pop will love their lovely space.
Y'all have done such an amazing amount of work in such a short time!!!! It is looking soooo sooo great! I'm so happy to see them happy. Great choices in everything and the views are wonderful. Blessings to keep the good work going!
Thank you

Hi there
Your family are doing fantastic 😊😊
Your mum and dad will be safe and secure in there new cabin xxx
Just found your video today, I love it! Such a wonderful thing you are doing, a true labor of love ❤️. I’m from Mom & Pop’s generation and I’m very proud of you! God Bless You.
Moving that building had me holding my breath!!!
Me too!
Thanks for sharing. Love their new home.
Aww! Loved Pop singing along on the Elvira song! My stepdad had Parkinson’s Disease! I’m a new subscriber and it’s a little after 4am I’m off to work in a little while. I am working after many years on Social Security but my husband lost his job summer 2021 because the owner sold the farm he managed and our house was part of his salary. We had to scramble to move ended up in his brothers tiny camper. My son and daughter-in-love said we could put something here and we chose a shed home! We did a few basics and are living in it while renovating it as we get money a little at a time to fix it! I cried watching your video! You and your husband are truly heroes for helping them ❤❤❤❤
Our floor plan has been our greatest challenge I got a side utility with door in middle 12x24 and we are still trying to figure out how to place everything! My profile pic on here is day it was delivered!
Oh and I know exactly what Mom means about the one but kitchen 😂 our tiny kitchen is larger than the camper but still pretty small😂❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness Leslie! I’m so sorry for your struggle. I pray God sends you unbelievable deals and the provision to finish your home. I’m so glad you found us! Welcome to our channel
@@justdigitfarms awe! Thank you so much! I’m on my lunch break checking my RUclips notifications etc! Thanks for your kind words ❤️
Wonderful, Bless you for doing this. Great kids
Thankful you all are okay. Jason and his family are as well.
Thank you
What a beautiful gesture you all are doing for your parents...awesome job!
This is quite lovely. Thanks for sharing.
We are doing much the same thing except hubby and I are selling our 2 properties and buying a bigger piece of land. Both make a total of 10 acres. We are looking for at least 30 to 50 acres. My son and daughter along with our grands will have their homes and we will have ours far enough apart for privacy but close enough to walk to each others places. All will be over basements for storage. Then eventually we will have a community "kitchen" for family get togethers, canning etc. It will have a TV area with a washer & dryer. We are going to insulate ourselves but the company will install a vapor barrier before they side it. Hubby wants to use Rockwool. We have a 14x40 building that someone did the pink insulation but didn't put a vapor barrier and now we have to gut the building and have it spray foamed. We use it for storage. It's 20 years old now. We will have 2 mini spits. One at each end and tied to one outside unit. We are in northern middle TN.
Wow!! That sounds amazing!
@@justdigitfarms Thank you. I forgot to say ours will be 16x60. The reason for at least 2 mini splits. lol My son is high functioning autistic so when we are gone (I'm 60 and hubby is 62) the family can support each other physically, mentally and hubby and I are setting them up as self sufficient as possible. Canning, dehydrating, freeze drying as well as a large garden with veggies, fruits and my daughter is learning about wild edibles, tinctures etc. We even make our own soaps. :D You have a blessed day and be weather aware. It looks like we are once again in the danger zone.
That’s awesome great job taking care of our parents is important ❤️🐝🐮🦆🦆🦚🐷🌻
I’m watching this an holding my breath! I can only imagine how you were feeling! 🙏❤️😊
That is so considerate of y'all nothing but LOVE ❤️, Wednesday Blessings from Texas.🌻🌻🌻🌻
Thanks so much
So very nice a family affair. How blessed you all are. God bless you it's beautiful!!
I'VE BEEN WATCHING RUclips VIDEOS ON TINY HOMES AND OTHER SMALL PLACES TOO ! WE TRIED TO DOWN SIZE EVERYTHING BUT, OUR HOUSE DIDN'T SELL & THAT'S OK, WE STILL HAVES A PLACE TO LIVES IN & MAYBE WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR OUR PROPERTY CAUSE OUR SEPTIC SYSTEM CAN HANDLE 2 EXTRA ROOMS AND SO, WHO KNOWS WHAT WE CAN DO & I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT MY MOM WON'T EVERS GOES TO A NURSING HOME WHEN SHE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF HER SELF !!
They had a lovely home, moving anyone who has lived in a home for many yours is overwhelming. Love the style of the house. Watching them move the house to the spot made me a little nervous.
Me too!
I have a mini split in an apartment in my daughter’s house. The outside unit sits on a concrete pad outside on a different wall and different floor than the inside unit. This would help the looks of the front of your home. I love my mini split. It’s been running great for over three years. Js. IMO
That is awesome!
I like the bead board.
You sound awesome!!! Sing away sing away!!!!
I love the Cottage Cabin. Gene is such a handyman. Lookin good.
That was a very fascinating move. Good job on videoing.
Hi. I'm new to your podcast. I love to see families work together...and a father and son singing while their working is just warms my heart. My parents have already moved their residence to heaven, so I don't have to think about their care taking. This is a great idea and nothing is better than living in the country. I grew up in the country in a little farming community where everybody new everybody and watched out for each other. Now I live in town and don't know half my neighbors. I really admire what y'all are doing. I wish you all the blessings God can give you and plenty of good health and happiness. From a Nana in Texas. 💕🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
I am a caregiver for My 97 yrs old mama. Both parents were on walkers. When building access to house go ahead and build ramps. You will need it. If he is a vet check VA for help with ramps.
I am just sharing what we discovered late. They had to remodel the bathroom. Don't forget access for handicapped shower with handrails. Better to plan going in than. Later.
They already mentioned there was going to be a ramp in the video.
I know that now. I wrote the note before I finished watching. Like I said I have been facing struggles for my parents. After the fact my parents spent 10 k to remodel the bathroom. Ramps were priced about 6k. With elderly parents things can be fine in the a m and change quickly. I was living at my house living my life. I got a call my daddy broke his leg. I left my house never to spend another night in my house six years ago.
