An elderly friend is in the hospital and has asked me to find someone (she
prefers a business over a handyman) who can come to her condo and give her
an estimate for installing a shower grab bar and a fold-down shower seat.

I'm not sure where to start ... for example, what kind of business does this
kind of work?


The kind that can afford plenty of liability insurance. The grab bar
doesn't even have to rip out of the wall for the lawyers to come
crashing in: if she even misses the thing as she's lurching for it on
her way down, someone's gonna be doing ergonomics calculations down to
the thousandth of an inch. Height, mounting angle, coefficient of
friction of the wet bar.

It's like my electrician friend said about working in mobile homes: "I
wouldn't even change a light bulb in one."
