Inside and out...



The whole reason we are moving house is to make life a lot easier for us as a family accommodating hoists and access for Zaks chair.
On Friday Zak was able to look around the inside of the house as well as the outside for the first time since the build began. When we first viewed the property he could only access two of the rooms as his wheelchair couldn't take the turns or it through the doors.(Thats after collapsing the chair to get it into the house ), so this day was special one for him to be able to take in whats going on.



(testing out the corridor)


("and the hoist will be from here...to here...")



Seeing the size of Zaks chair in the house confirmed that the wide hallway and open lounge was definitely the way to have designed the place. I can't wait until we are settled in and sorted. We are half way through the time scale now.

(next door's wondering whats going on lol)



The change has been pretty incredible but still retains its calmness and 'good feel' about it when you walk through the gates.Something thats difficult to describe but both Stiggy and I both felt when we first visited.Maybe its all the birdsong? Perfect.

Nice photos! I can see the joy in all of your faces.

We felt the same way when we walked onto our property for the first time. We knew we had to live there.

Hi there love your blog! Great photos and yay for the extra space for Zak. My hubby has been in a wheelchair for four years now (result of an accident) and you can never have too much space!
Wishing you all the very best.xx
