User-friendly renovation targets everyone in the household
In memory of Darren Talbert, who passed away before this article was published.
Darren Talbert and his family were faced with the need to remodel their existing house
to make it more accessible when he was confined to a wheelchair after a botched
surgery. Although many thought he should buy a brand new house to accommodate
the growing, ever-changing needs he and his family would have to face, he was adamant that he wanted to continue calling his existing house "home."
