Aging in Place: New Handrail to Basement

Anna lives in Brooklyn but her senior parents live in East Gloucester. They have an old beautiful Victorian. Loving the history of an old house and living with the limitations of an old house are two different things. While visiting in late August Anna contacted me on a Sunday, saying a handrail needed to be installed to the steep basement stairs for her parents while also sharing that she'd be heading back to NY on Thursday. It needed to NOW. Luckily, I had a gap in my schedule. I added the vertical 2x6 pine brace before installing the handrail, which took less than an hour.

Anna knows Cape Ann Handywoman is ready to help her parents age in place, because I live with my retired mother and care about taking care of the elderly, day and night
