Q. MY HUSBAND HAS STARTED USING A WHEELCHAIR IN THE HOUSE BUT HAS TROUBLE MANEUVERING OVER CARPETING AND AROUND FURNITURE. ANY EASY, LOW-COST SUGGESTIONS FOR FIXING THIS? A. You can make


high-pile carpet easier to navigate by using duct tape to piece together several of those thick plastic chair mats you see sold at office supply stores. Or purchase a heavy-duty plastic


runner at the home improvement center. To prevent bumping into furniture, screw heavy-duty wheels onto the bottoms of the legs of tables and chairs so they can be rolled out of the way to


create a clear path. _Sid Kirchheimer writes about scams and consumer issues._ RELATED <p>Sid Kirchheimer on wheelchairs, Stan Hinden on Social Security. Send your questions to: Ask
