12. If I had been 20 years younger and capable of crawling around in an attic, I might have tried it
But one of the reasons to build this new house was that I was getting closer to needing a wheelchair accessible home. Four days after signing the contract to build, I had my second knee operation. I haven't had knee replacement yet, but it is inevitable according to my orthopedic surgeon.

But the actual installation does not seem to be that difficult, just strenuous.

If you look at the URL, I think Bob is on the faculty at University of Michigan.
