Twinks, I will take pics tomorrow and post them. The hallways should be 48 inches and doors 36 inches. But Kay is right about the knuckle scratches. The pocket doors are a great investment to add space that otherwise would be empty. A wheelchair can get through those really good. Doors come in the standard 36" but larger would be better. We decided on the standard for cost.

In th bathroom Jim has a counter that is tiled, no cabinets under it at all. He rolls right up to the sink. We installed a cabinet on the wall for keeping things in. Oh and when you tile the bathroom? Go ahead and install tile baseboard instead of wood. You wouldn't believe how much nicer that looks and avoids mold and knicks.

And if you must install a ramp, go with sanded gravel cement or Trex to build. The wood ones do get slippery here at my house.
