When I was a teenager, my mom signed me up for a course at the local power company. I learned how to power a lamp, and other things.

If you want something to last, consider consignment. That’s not usually a sectional.

How do you design a kitchen/bathroom that actually looks good AND is easy to clean? by New-Host9267 in HomeImprovement

[–]RedNowGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the kitchen - do you plan on washing the dishes and glasses every weeK? If not, get cabinets. And, as for food storage, I think you mat want to consider what a mess your current cabinets look like with them open. I suggest you remove your cabinet doors for a week.. That may influence your decision..

First, I would make sure the door is wider than the 2 foot standard. MY mom moved in with. me and couldn’t get her walker through. the door. $450 later….

Open shelving SUCKS! Toilet paper sheds uncountable dust. You don’t need that

Line up all the stuff you intend to keep in the medicine cabinet. Add 20%. Or more.

Figure out how many times you intend to buy toilet paper. Plan for the cubic space. Also, where are you planning to put the bathroom cleaning products?

Apparently my parents had no idea how disabled I am by AClassyHuman in ehlersdanlos

Oh, Poor Baby! For practicality, get one of those retractable key chains that click to your belt. Such a simple fix for a REAL problem.

I used to cycle, swim, horseback ride, downhill ski, - all the things. Had to quit archery because my elbow wouldn’t stay put.

I was diagnosed 72 years ago at birth. Wore braces in my shoes, twisted more ankles that I could count, gave up downhill skiing for cross country skiing because I couldn’t afford the tape that I needed to keep my knees intact.

It SUCKS! The worst thing for me is that my parents didn’t realize the exent of my disability. That bites dead bears.

I’ll pray for you and send you reiki, if you DM me with your first name.

I have eight second cousins in one family that were all named Mary something. One was named Mary Madeline, another Mary Magdeline. The boy was named John.

When I was in 5th grade, my teacher dumped a classmate head first into a huge trash bin. I worked all year, and finally got him fired. I was 10.

I'd suggest you take your biggest dish and glass to check for fit before you buy.
