Well, I'm 74, and while I'm not crazy about the manual labor, I am still pretty capable of doing it. However, if it involves getting down on the floor or ground, then it takes a bit to get back up. We just finished fixing up a house that our youngest son is buying, and if I had to do anything at floor level, I kept a small step stool nearby that I could use to help me get up. It is only an 8" to 10" step, but it made a world of difference with getting up.
As for Colorado, I too love the state. We are familiar with the Montrose area (to some degree) because I used to have family that lived in Hotchkiss. After we retired, we spent 20 months in the Colorado Springs/Canon City area. In fact, we were in Mountaindale Cabins and RV Resort southwest of Colorado Springs for that whole period. It is right at the base of a mountain on the front range.
