It looks as if regardless of how a lot planning goes right into a room, there are at all times modifications that I’d make in hindsight. Our grasp rest room isn’t any completely different.
Total, I’m more than happy with how the room appears to be like and features, and when speaking a couple of room that’s and can be used recurrently by an individual in a wheelchair, operate is essential. However there are two fundamental issues that I want I may return and alter. One in every of them is absolutely an inexcusable oversight. However the different one was one thing that I couldn’t actually have identified as a result of all of that is new to us.
Outlet(s) Behind The Center Cupboard
That is the “How may I’ve ignored that?” mistake that I want I may return and alter. Why on the earth did I not suppose to place an outlet behind the middle cupboard on the self-importance wall in order that we may hold rechargeable objects hidden away within the drawers?
I’ve a number of issues that I’d like to hold plugged in — a face cleaner factor, a crimson mild remedy factor for the face, a tooth whitener factor. I don’t suppose I noticed what number of rechargeable objects I’ve till I really began shifting issues into the toilet.
I’d say that my oversight of an outlet behind the cupboard is THE greatest and most irritating mistake that I made on this rest room, and for the reason that cupboard is beneath a window, there’s no straightforward solution to repair it. I don’t suppose there’s any method in any respect to repair it in any respect with out messing up a wall beneath one of many vanities, and that’s not going to occur. I’ll reside with the inconvenience earlier than I’ll go backwards on this rest room and need to restore a wall.
The excellent news is that I don’t use these items daily, and I believe I can discover a solution to hold these things within the glass-front cupboard within the water closet. Since that cupboard has an outlet proper by it, and already has an extension twine operating into it for the LED lights, I believe I can plug issues in and hold them charging in that cupboard, and perhaps put them in a basket in order that they’re not too seen. There’s at all times an answer. 🙂
And the second factor I’d change in hindsight…
Extra Showerheads
I’m not fairly as laborious on myself with this as I’m on the outlet oversight for the reason that complete wheelchair-accessible bathe was model new to us, and we didn’t actually know what to anticipate.
At one level, I had thought of having two showerheads on the identical wall for the reason that bathe is so huge.
I ended up altering my thoughts as a result of the entire level of getting such a giant bathe is in order that Matt can freely transfer round in his wheelchair within the bathe. Having two bathe heads on the identical wall would imply that he could be shoved over to at least one aspect or the opposite, and that appeared to defeat the aim of getting such a big bathe for him. And it appeared to me that having a fundamental showerhead plus a handheld could be loads.
However now that we’ve been utilizing the bathe, I want I had gone not with two showerheads, however with three. And I wouldn’t put all of them on the identical wall, however I’d put one on every of the three partitions within the curtained off bathe space.
It’s solely a problem once I’m serving to Matt together with his bathe. Clearly, once I’m showering, one showerhead is loads. However once I’m serving to Matt together with his bathe, having three showerheads (one on every of the three partitions) would permit me to assist him, freely transfer round him, whereas at all times with the ability to hold heat beneath a stream of water. As it’s now, Matt will get all the nice and cozy water (sure, he desires the showerhead and the hand held each pointing at him to maintain heat 😀 ) whereas I’m over to the aspect freezing.
It’s nice. 😀 It truly is. I’m keen to be a bit of chilly whereas he has a pleasant bathe. And the bathe may be very good. Really, it’s been greater than good. It’s been life-changing for Matt. However I do want I’d have identified then what I do know now.
These are actually the one two issues that I’ve wished I may change. However general, I completely love our new rest room. I do look ahead to the day that it doesn’t have an exterior door, although. I can’t wait till that door results in our new bed room as a substitute of to Cooper’s fenced in yard. It’s a bit irritating for now having my huge canine monitor dust and dirt by means of our new rest room. 😀 However that’s a short lived inconvenience that WILL be modified ultimately.
