shower chair

So frustrating.... We are looking to enlarge our shower opening to 32" and remove the 6" threshold. The guy that build the shower came by tonight. Unless we completely start over and jack hammer the foundation, we can not remove the threshold. The shower floor is higher than the bathroom...

Started as a beautiful morning! I was up at 4AM to get a jump on the day. I'm able to do a lot of work on client computers, remotely. So early morning, before Darcey is up and about, works great. At 7:30AM, I went upstairs and greeted Darcey with hugs, kisses and smiles. The sun was...
