I am looking for the subject. I cannot find a walk in bath on the internet for less than $3000.00 I also have no idea how to put it in, but I watch your show and I will try. Please do a show on the handicap bathroom. I am trying to get my house in order because I have 1 son who served in this on going war Special Forces, my only child, and I do not want to have to depend on him as I am getting older. I would like to install a walk in bath with shower and possibly a whirlpool. I have an A frame and it is hard to redo. Please give me some input! Thank you! If anyone can help me, you can! You are the smartest person I know and you can tell me how. I live alone except for my dear pets! I would like to do this on my own without depending on my son so much. He has a family and he is run to death between me and them! That's why I would like to do it on my own and say I did it! He would be proud! And he deserves it because he left his family to fight terriorsome and I would love to do something on my own for him!


Often, the simplest solution -- without a whirlpool -- is a "wet
room". You slope the entire floor towards the drain and tile the
three walls of the shower and almost everything near the shower. Then
you just walk into the shower with no foot-lift whatsoever. Also
works with wheelchairs.

Many upscale homes are going this way because it allows for flexible
use a space and an enormous shower.
