Aging affects both humans and their homes

We live in a town that has a multitude of older houses. The majority of them are lovely places, and all of them seem to be loved by their owners, which is why they still stand, because owning an old house can be very expensive.

Aging is wearing for houses, just as it is for people. Good homeowners must take care of themselves and their homes.

Our good friends bought a lovely old home many years ago and have been very good and responsible owners of their place. Several years ago they decided to add on to their house and make room for their growing family. The addition almost doubled the size of the
house and included on the first floor an enlarged kitchen and family room. On the basement level, a two-car garage was added. On the second floor, a master bedroom with a bath and a big walk-in closet was added along with a nice-sized laundry room.
