Well, I just have to tell you about our most recent addition to our home in Illinois! We made the decision to have a "walk-in" tub installed in the place of the tub in our guest bathroom. This will be a source of great pleasure for me, since my arthritis has prohibited me for a long time from taking a bath in the "regular" original and ordinary tub you see in the photo above. ( I HAVE taken showers, though!)

Old tub removed

The front porch - new temporary parking spot for the toilet!

Unlike most people, we had a tub in our foyer! (Was only for a couple of days until the bathroom was ready for the tub to be installed.)

Finished product! It's wonderful!!

If any of you friends in Illinois are ever interested in having a walk-in tub installed, please contact me for the name of the installer (it's easy to find a tub online, but difficult to find an installer!). He lives in Arlington Heights, IL, and has done lots of these projects.
