Can our home fulfil our specialised needs?
Comments (12)I am sensing that as always, what we all want is one thing and paying for it all is another. With that in mind, how about some modest but achievable changes? Alter the existing bathroom by removing the separate WC and Block up that door. Make that space the walk in shower with a glass panel and now you can fit a solid polycarbonate shower floor that fits flush with the tiles/floor covering. With the separating wall removed, reset the WC pan and redecorate the bathroom to be one harmonius but useable room. Next, remove bedroom 3 completely and use that space for a new staircase up to a loft conversion. In the loft, simply board and line out the loft space leaving the roof as it is and fit several Velux roof lights. Make the space to a large bedroom and an open plan ensuite with a bath and source a good long one for you to enjoy. Have a Velux above the bath, another over the stairs and maybe one or two overhead above your bed. Now outside, a new, full size and vaulted roof conservatory full of light and space opening onto a new wide patio. As for the front door...costs mean it staying where it is but a new path and fence would help and carry it around to the patio. It is not the most perfect plan and will still cost a good £40/50,000 but it would make a big difference. Remember door widths in all this for future convenience..my Dad was in a wheelchair and it was a big help. So....I hope this gives a few more ideas without being impossible to implement!...See MorePOLL: Separate beds in bedroom - yes or no?
Comments (22)We have a double bed but it's a couple of single divans zipped together, this does cut down on movement being felt when the person your sleeping with turns over... additionally we have separate duvets which is fantastic! My husband likes to be tucked in and have the covers right up to his ears and I can't bear either! In the winter though I hate that wind tunnel down my back so, for us, we want to share a big bed but not a duvet!...See Morekitchen island or table???
Comments (25)so after many months it's done, thanks to all that posted here, you help made me think about things like the necessity for a proper dining table. the room has turned out great, I've yet to used the dining table as it was literally finished on Saturday.

Comments (7)On the Alan Titchmarsh Love Your Garden prog they often create gardens suitable for the disabled. They usually create a very gently sloping path from the house to the end of the garden, usually in a semi circle or a complete circle. That way the garden is accessible all the way round. If the middle of the circle is grassed then that’s great for the other children to play on. As far as decking goes, I agree it is slippy, but I’ve just painted mine in a non slip stain and it really is non slip, even in the rain. I only painted it a few weeks ago so I will see how it looks in a years time! I used Screwfix no nonsense anti slip stain in Slate. The deck is on a frame and it has made the deck almost the same level as the house Which is great. Here’s a pic. Circular lawn surrounded by a path. Possible deck ramp...See Moresteph1070
