Small Home Changes I Wish I Made Sooner After 60 — They Make Everyday Life So Much Easier

Go to your bathroom and put your hand on your towel bar. Wrap your fingers around it the way you would if your foot slipped on a wet floor. Now ask yourself one question. If you put your whole weight on that bar, would it hold you? Because honey, it was never built to. A towel bar is screwed into drywall to carry a damp towel. Most of them will pull right out of the wall the moment a grown body leans on them. The sad part is that the bathroom is exactly where we reach for them. That little bar is the first of seven small changes I'm going to walk you through today. None of them needs a contractor or a fortune, and most cost less than a nice lunch out. And every one of them is something I read the same sentence about in the comments, over and over: "I wish I had done this years ago." So let's do them now, while it's easy, and not after something forces us to. My name is Evelyn Hart. This channel is about one thing: staying safe, steady, and independent in the home you love, for as long as you want to be there. I don’t do it with fear. I do it with plain good sense.
