1. Until there is, seniors can help seniors. We can and will unite.

There is a great thread on Hacker News asking techies (and others) to HELP SENIORS.
This is a giant list, but I feel that the time has come, after years of it not being right) for a seniors (and others) helping seniors.

Tell HN: your next idea should focus on aged care

I'm opening up my old notebooks and I'm ready to make things happen.
And I just got a son-in-law who can program the techie stuff.
The low-tech stuff is just as important and needs to be done.

I seem to recall home inspection checklist "apps", and I'll follow up when I find them.
I have dealt with contractors and am really unimpressed.
Fellow seniors might be a better bet, and call in the contractor only when the building inspector is involved.

Keep this idea kicked!
