I do want to mention that these dimensions are exact dimensions, they are drawn in vector, meaning that one foot IS one foot. I just didn't scale it and I can if you'd like.

The bed in the Master bedroom IS an actual size King Size Bed.

the other two beds are queen size beds.

all the toilets and the bidet(in the master bath) are actual sizes

the couches and furnitures are of course, actual size. LOL

even the trees and the shrubs are...class?? "ACTUAL SIZE"

OK, anyways...just thought I'd come in and point them out...

oh, those two funny looking things by the hotubs are lounge chairs.

and that is a handicapped modified van in the garage. ACTUAL SIZE!

LMAO....

Of course!

If you want to, I can modify it for you and I can also send it to you as a cad file so you can take it to any architect or engineer.

I design houses around where I live so I don't know the codes in other areas, but the basic plans are usually the same.

anything that I can help with, please let me know.

your Jim is very special and he is lucky to have you as well.

I have a certain disability myself so I can totally understand about wanting to design something to make everything MORE comfortable...my sweet wife and I designed and built our house a couple of years ago.

Hey Twinks, here are my pics. Let me know if you want to see more.

Pocket door leading to master bedroom. Notice that the hallway narrows near the door? That is the original hallway. They were able to make it wider when they added the roll in bathroom. That bathroom used to be the living room.



Full hallway to all bedrooms and accessible bathroom. Jim's bathroom is not in the master because the original builders built the bathroom to accommodate the son who was disabled.



Roll in shower. BTW, next to the shower is a full bathtub.



Bathroom counter:



Kitchen. Please excuse the mess. We just got Subway takeout. lol



Fold out extra counter space for Jim to roll under:



Counter folded down for added space is needed:



Back deck with french doors, master bedroom.



Close up of back deck and ramp:

it's beautiful, lovely, and cozy.

if you don't mind, I'd like to take some of those ideas as well for some of my disabled clients?

Absolutely! Anything you need just let me know. I can also give you the link to the VA accessible design we used. It has all dimensions needed for an ADA accessible home. The PVA also has one. Just let me know!

If you click on this link, scroll to the bottom. You'll find links to doorways, kitchens, ramps, etc. This is the VA accessible design links. VA ADA Accessible Design

This is the PVA accessible design links. Click on the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities and you'll be given information on specs for accessibility. PVA ADA Accessible Design

Both of these links will also come in very handy if you ever need to design for a veteran.

Thanks Moi and Sandy! I appreciate your input!

The VA site is very helpful, as are your home pics, Sandy. Really helps to actually see what things look like.

Am in a rush right now, but will study them more when I return from my trip to the New Neuro.
