I'm not handicapped in any way but I firmly believe most houses should be designed with maximum accessibility in mind. If i get the opportunity to design a house, I will be incorporating some of your ideas.
Excellent adaptations! My favorites are the additional handle on the garage door and the relocation of the drain/disposal in the kitchen sink. Quite clever and forward thinking. ❤
Hey, great video, good camera person too, I liked the giggle! The second door handle is cool, I will steal that one from you. In the shower I added a second 'hook' for the shower head, I stole the idea from a camper I had. It also has a second shutoff like yours, but a second lower hook lets me have both hands free and still have the water spraying. I have not done it yet, but I want to add a cooktop only instead of a traditioanal stove with an oven. Then maybe have a wall mounted (higher) oven.
I am an older guy living alone, my upper body has to do the work for my legs. There is more helpful stuff in this vid. than I have seen anywhere else. Thank you so much for posting. wolf
Hey thanks for sharing. You gave me a few ideas about what my husband and I can do to make our future home more accessible for me, I have Kniest Syndrome which is pretty rare.
I have been a paraplegic for 58 years. Having a accessible home has always been a dream but I have never had the income to be able to purchase such a home. I have lived in a home for over 18 years where I had to transfer to the floor and crawl into the bathroom where my shower was in order to take a shower. Nice home. Thumbs up to you!
Thank You Very Much Blackpearlv6 for allowing us into your home. I`m an above knee amputee and I`ve had a lot of damage done to my other leg so walking is very difficult for me. I use the chair quiet a lot and will be building a house in time to come as I can no longer live in my old house. I have learnd a lot from what you`ve done to make your house more wheelchair `Friendly`. Thank You Again....
Helpful…thank you. We are building a vacation rental studio on our property in Montana and want to make it wheel chair accessible because there aren’t any accommodations that offer that. Your tour showed a great blend of standard building features and specialized features that work together.
My husband built a ramp inside the garage for me. In Minnesota this is a huge blessing. Keeps us out of weather and no one driving by would know a physically challenged person lives there. Lever handles on doors are good as well. Love your closet!
I've been in a wheelchair my whole life and have never even thought of doing some of these awesome modifications. (like the handle on the door going in from your garage - pure genius!!). Thank you for sharing. I showed hubby and hopefully we can use some of these ideas in our house too. :)
thank you for the video,Im a new wheelchair group and I don't have idea when I'm home. everything gonna be so different! there is lot thing I couldn't do like you did.
This video was helpful for me as I am a person in a wheelchair I have been always looking for whatever information available to make my life easy and adaptable. Thank you
My daughter and her husband are both in power wheelchairs. As the mother of three children with cerebral palsy, you would think I would have come up with the second handle idea. :) Brilliant. I will tell my daughter and her husband about the modifications you've made without sacrificing the re-sale value of your home. Thanks for posting!
Brian did a great and came up with a lot of great ideas. He had only been injured 2 years and accomplished a ton. But, you still learn every day and built a great house based on his present knowledge and budget. Brian - I'm remodeling my upstate place and I'm using your kitchen as a design for the cabinets. I think you did an excellent job.

I really appreciate your video. As an architect student, I want to design all my buildings to be inclusive for everyone

That is seriously beautiful. Wow! That is the house of my dreams! I love the floors and the natural light.
Im studying Interior design, this video helped me a lot in learning how to cater for disabled people. Thanks
