It’s a Good Thing (Ok friend, here is my latest in search of…)

Today the people came from Accessible Housing Services, to review the project before they start funded by Baltimore Co. Office of Community Conservation. To there enjoyment they did not see any last minute surprises that would delay the projects. Unlike when we put in the front-loading washer and dryer.
So they will be starting the bathroom project on April 6th and hope it would take 4 days at the most 5. The boss is hoping to have the stairlift install at the same time. It so happens that we are going out of town at that time so when we get home, a new accessible shower will be waiting.
A week after we put in the remote caroge door opener my electric chair completely blew up. Then something happened to the caroge door so it unhook from the opener. Before the guys left today they were able to fix that. Plus I got an appointment at KKI to do an evaluation for a new power chair.

Ok friend, here is my latest in search of…

We are moving to a house that is rent to own, but it multiple level a nightmare for us gimps. It has a lot pretention, as you can from my face book page I am auctioning a piece of art to start the accommodations myself. As a for, example a keyless entry to the front day and garage door opener so I can go work on art when I want.

I know I can obtain some help to modify a few things by the state of Maryland through Baltimore Co. Office of Community Conservation, I’m sure there will be limits. Does anyone know any organizations that help fund home accommodations, or purchase medical equipment to modify homes? My first communication device was purchase by the Lions club. Any ideas, or suggestions would appreciate.
