Four months ago I set out to make my office/music room handicapped accessible. Thanks to a response by Savanah, I took a re-look this morning.
Things are a lot better. Most of the unnecessary leftovers are gone.
But I today realized three important rules:
1) Everything must be capable of being lifted and moved with one hand.
2) Everything above shoulder height must be light, easy to reach without stretching.
3) Objects must not be leaning against one another and likely to fall (such as long shelves of books.
Considering that I began this project standing on chairs to lift heavy boxes off high shelves, it's gone well.
It's "almost done."
Now it's just between Almost and Me.

Hey, Ed... another musician / home recordist here.
Very happy to hear you've tackled getting the music room in shape... a sacred space for some of us. ;>)
All the best!
