You would think. But the newer houses are built to be "interesting". And a half wall three feet inside the front door so you have to make a sharp right turn is "interesting". Not exactly easy to get a wheelchair through though. We ripped it out and evened out the floor which made it possible for him to get into his own house.

But bathrooms are the worse. We often have to gut and rebuild. There is no way to get a wheelchair into your average bathroom which means that you have to get one of those "potty chairs". Talk about being stripped of your dignity.

I think there is a market for homes that are built to be handicapped friendly. And I think it is going to grow.

I’ve often wondered if handicap-friendly design and contracting was a profitable specialty.
