Basement                                                                                     

I live in a small 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house that was
built in the 1920s.  It has old electrical and plumbing.
I've been here for about 4 years, and I've been to the
basement once.  A friend carried me down so I could
have a look.  I use the basement for storage only, and
when I need something, which is seldom,  I have to ask
a friend to get it for me.  The breaker box is down there
though as is the water shut off.

Every winter I forget to ask someone to turn off the
water connection to the garden.  One day last year
I went out my back door and discovered pipes had
burst and there was water gushing out and flooding
my backyard.  As much as I would love to have a
swimming pool in my backyard, this wasn't what I 
had dreamed of.  I didn't want to call a plumber or a
friend and sit around and wait for them to show up
to turn off the water in the basement, so I went to a
neighbor's house.  I couldn't knock on their front door
because all my neighbors have steps leading to their
doors.  Luckily, my daughter was with me and she
knocked on doors for me.  At the 4th house we tried,
we finally found someone home.  They came over, 
went to my basement, and turned off the water for me.

Once I get an iBOT, I should be able to do this sort of
thing by myself.  Yippee!  I'll also be able to get things 
out of storage by myself.  Maybe someday after I get
my iBOT, I'll go down there and have a cup of tea, 
just because I can.  :D   

My iBOT will come in handy in instances like this.  Yay
for the iBOT!
