We are now at the finish of the project. The vanity is in place, toilet installed, everything painted and the contractor for the glass door has finished his work.
When the contractor finished the floor he redid the entrance threshold and matched the wood in our floors with a very nice threshold that is easy for a walker to go over. I did ask for the threshold for accessibility, but, I didn't expect a perfect colour match!
First time my wife took a shower it was without any assistance from me. All I had to do was put in a small table for her shower supplies and put the shower head on it. Dropped the seat, closed the doors and did something by herself she couldn't do since her stroke... Take a shower by herself! All she asks now is for me to bring out new towels and face cloths for her and after to help dry her hair. She is loving the independence that the shower gives her and my back is grateful every time.
The renovation itself was a bit costly, but, worth every penny. We have a shower that is handicap accessible, has non-slip floors, good lighting and looks great. We didn't skimp on the materials and with the cost of the contractors (part of the project we had a plumber and electrician along with the main contractor) the project was $21k (original guestimate by me was $20k so it was close).
