I have twelve foot ceilings and love, i mean like, them. The exercise room has plenty of head space for the treadmill and lifting weights while working out. I like the extra space in the kitchen above the tall cabinets is a great to place for the sound system speakers and felt flower decorations on top of the cabinets. I put the seasonal cooking equipment in the upper parts of cabinets like the canning equipment. The closet space in bedrooms provides extra storage space for storing winter / summer items. I do keep a small storable step stool in each closet and in the kitchen. The laundry room has wire racks above the washing machine and dryer for temporarily hanging up the clothes on and storing bulk laundry supplies. Ceiling fans that easily high enough without raising your arms and touching the fan blades. What I do not have are great rooms, kitchen and dinning room and other rooms are separated by walls. If I choose to end it... An over dose of Viagra at a Bordello. -- Enjoy Life... Nad |

Nowadays ones dining room table is often their pc desk. When home alone I rarely eat at my kitchen table... I have a large "L" shaped desk, there's plenty of space for all my electronics and for me and my cats to dine.... I even keep extra eating utensils in my desk drawer so in case I forget I don't need to get up and walk to the kitchen, or my pork chop may literally grow legs and make a mad dash under a bed. LOL |

Sure, that's all one needs... but it's not exactly the most satisfying way to bathe. I like to take a nice hot shower. And I have hair, so I wash it. When my parents built this house Mom thought a deep jetted tub was the way to go. It was de rigeur (HGTV didn't even exist back then). She was only about 10 years older than I am now. It got to the point where the tub was too tall for her to step into. Hell, it's hard for me to step into. I got a handle that attaches to the side of the tub so I can hold onto something and get in and out of it easily. Face it, when you're 20, 30, 40, you don't think about stuff like this. People don't plan on getting old. That's a big mistake. Jill |

I like to take a nice hot shower. And I have hair, so I wash it. True, but with one's leg in a cast a bath and even a shower isn't practical... no matter how one tapes plastic bags they will invariably leak. And hair can be washed in a sink, hair salons only wash hair in a sink... most kitchen sinks nowadays have a sprayer hose, so in an emergency it more than suffices. My bath shower head is detachable, I've leaned over the tub to wash my hair with the hand held shower... and the hand held shower makes cleaning the tub a breeze. I used to have a WaterPic hand held but after many years it died, the plastic body cracked and couldn't be sealed with glue, so I bought one made by Delta, it's the best one I've ever used anywhere... anyone needs a new shower head this is the one: http://www.amazon.com/Faucet-75580-I...8256118&sr=8-3 >When my parents built this house Mom thought a deep jetted tub was the way >to go.

Well, no one knows what the future has in store, one can become debilitated at any age. I try to keep as much as possible easy maintenence both inside and outside. I see no use for a jetted tub at home (probably yoose gals luv em), just something that takes more effort to clean and maintain, and if a pump dies can be a nightmare... I only shower anyway... I think the last time I took a tub bath at home I was five years old... I've taken spa baths at hotels but to be honest I don't see the point, they are a big waste of hot water and I don't want to soak in my own dirty bath water. |

Just for the record, my real name has nothing to do with Nad or Dan. I am a male and never married. I learn from my friends that divorce cost a whole lot more than prostitutes. I have no money hidden in the walls, all invested in my home and property. -- Enjoy Life... Nad |

But you can tell all your friends that you have money in the walls and on your property and you wouldn't be lying. -- Never commit yourself to a cheese without having first examined it. T.S. Eliot |

From time to time, I change my name on the net, I use to go by the name Dan in the past here and elsewhere. But my name is not Dan, it use to be another handle. Dave was before Dan over ten years ago and Dave is not my name. One thing that has been consistent is I am a Male and live somewhere in Michigan, use to live in the city and now in the boondocks with very few neighbors and now retired. My best friend is a Yorkie. -- Enjoy Life... Nad |

Large numbers of people want to squelch free speech. People only respect those that think like themselves. As an atheist, I would be dead by now by many religious nut jobs. Respect...

Oh, gimme a break. It doesn't stop me. And even if you were still using your name of 10+ users ago, it was anonymous as well. Look at people like 'sf' and 'Lou', who have been using the same nick for years 'anonymously. And of course you can always use a one-off, like so. All that you wrote is a cop out to cover up some sort of prior embarrassment and paranoia. > Large numbers of > people want to squelch free speech.

Maybe I should have said it's a "cathedral" ceiling. It's still 22 ft. tall. I have a skylight in my master bathroom, too, and one in my garage. Jill |

Be sure you have a room which you can convert to a bedroom in a hurry and a full bathroom on the first floor. You never know when a broken leg etc. can make those stairs a nightmare. Good luck selling, btw, |
