Yet, like you it is always at the forefront of my thought process. Few if any buildings I encounter consider wheelchair access of central importance. It can be done but rarely is. <br />When people visit my home, especially when I get a delivery of something that is very heavy people are thrilled to see the ramp. And sadly resale of your home must be factored in. Ramps are not desired. Ironic though they are used so widely.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-89628574031905083022012-06-26T12:10:14.099-07:002012-06-26T12:10:14.099-07:00This post makes me both laugh and cry.

It's second nature now to anticipate how I would get Robert into a building--even if he's not with me. I, too, hate it when I see a building that makes disability access an afterthought. We built our house with a ramp running parallel to the front steps. We installed front steps because we had to give some thought to re-sale value. Guess what? More than half of the people who visit us, including the postman, use the ramp.jeneva22https://www.blogger.com/profile/14796890614666454443noreply@blogger.com
