As I mentioned in the first post in this series about making my new house disabled friendly, after I bought the house but before I moved in, the family organised builders to do some work before I moved in. Here's a list of what I remember them doing (there may have been more)
- take away the 'step' level in the living room, replacing the laminate at the same level (ish) as the rest of the floor
- organise plumbing for a dishwasher (taking out a kitchen cupboard to do so) under the draining board, which also meant reorganising the external waste plumbing out to the back of the house near the
- redo the external plumbing from the upstairs bathroom as the piping/collection was rather old and cracked
- create a Utility sink area and cat flap down near the WC in the utility area.
And it's the Utility Area that this post is about.
