Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

Hi Ginger,
When I did a total gut job in one bathroom I wanted a low rise tub, as I felt getting older I did not feel safe with the tall tub anymore.
KOHLER company makes such a low rise tub, and I had the plumber install it.
You can also get a walk in tub, it has a door, and you just walk into it. They are getting very popular.
What projects are you working on now?
Take care

@funcountess The original cast iron tub is fairly low, so I am okay with that, using the grab bars. It has been many decades since I took a bath. Like @ess77 getting up from a bath would need a crane ;)) The new bathroom could probably have the fiberglass unit pulled out and a walk in shower placed in.
Being winter has set in pretty much, projects include gathering all our leaves up. Neighbor is taking them all for their plants, so I half-suggested they could help with the cleanup, also! And we are chopping up large pieces of dry wood to feed the always-hungry fireplace. Sewing and crafting when weather is too unfriendly.
