To boldly go where no-one has gone before.

When we first moved into this house, it was very small, dark and cramped- everything I, personally, don't like. Getting around in a wheelchair I generally find it easier to not have a lot of extra "stuff". Once we got the hard wood floor in and 90% of the furniture out, it was much easier to see what we were working with. The house itself is about 35' x 45' with two bedroom, 2 bathrooms. Once we took out a wall to expand the living room, it aloud a LOT more light with access to a third window. On the other side of the house, there was a small dinning area with a small window. We decided it was the PERFECT place for a sliding door, opening the house to the southern exposure! Like any remodeling project, once you start to open a wall, there can be unexpected... surprises. We ended up having an electrician divert all the wires in the house. TIME and MONEY! But once we got the door in...

I think it was worth it!

Now we have added a small porch outside, looking out over my garden... I'm in heaven!
