  1. Nice, Nice tiny home. Great !
    UNTIL…She FALLS – Breaks her hip & CAN’T GO HOME
    Because there’s NO ROOM for a Walker, A Wheelchair or not even enough room to use a cane. I only know because I AM Old & I’ve watched too many friends NOT be able to go home because they can’t maneuver around inside their own house. IJS.

  2. I can see it’s a practical solution, but in her bedroom where the corner heater is, plenty room for shelves or even some hanging space – a few spots I think could be improved but overall a good solution
