This is actually a set of links to pieces I’ve written in the past about how to deal with different issues at home. Many of them come from the previous Adapting in Place class, but I thought they might be useful to people, before I move on to new content. I encourage people to read the comments as well, which often have more detail or correctives to my mistakes.
