Extreme Makeover!

We have had so many subcontractors working on top of each other, I feel like we are on one of those "Extreme Home Makeover" shows! Every doorway is now 4 feet wide. The front and back doors will be electronically controlled by a fab and will swing out instead of in to the room. The entrance to the bathroom is totally flat
which will be wood to tile. The shower is evolving and the client has already tried out the  "mock up" bench to make sure it is going to work well for her. The front of the bench is angled backwards so she will be able to drive her scooter closer to the bench and do a self transfer. It is so satisfying to see her smile with the thought of regaining some of her independence that she has lost since her stroke. I hope to have some pictures to post soon.

ADA Aesthetic creativity

I have had several meetings with my new client's so far. They have sold their other home and are living in a hotel until I can get most of the demolition done on the new home they purchased. All of the hallways are being
made to a 4 foot width and all interior doors will become pocket doors. The entry door, as well as, a door that goes out on to a deck, will be motorized so they will be controlled by an electronic push button from the outside.
I will be making one room into a multi-use room to include a washer/dryer with a pullout folding table. The new master bathroom will be very accessible. I will be dropping the entire floor and creating a large heated shower
without a curb. It will have an ample bench and hopefully some creative grab bars. The other plumbing fixtures
will all be accessible as well. I will be posting before & after photo's as well...so stay tuned!
