Dear Colleagues on the net: We are currently rennovating our house and adding a new bedroom and adjoing bath. We are anticipating the time when I may be more house bound, and so have designed a bath with a whirlpool to loosen me up in the morning and a walk in shower that I can get a chair in should that become necessary. The question that has arisen is how to think about floor covering; namely, should we have the floor done in hardwood or should we put down plywood and a rug over that? As my mother got older and the disease got more serious, she had trouble walking on a carpet with a regular length pile. So that had to be taken out and a short pile carpet like commercial grade had to be installed. I was wondering if that is a general experience that others of you have had. YOur advice would be of great help to us on this, for we have to make that decision in the next couple of weeks. Thanks. Bob Newbrough ([log in to unmask])
