Hotel! Good!

Julie are you a paraplegic complete ?

Per the NBC the bottom of the mirror should not be higher than 1015mm or 40 inches at a lavatory.

The NBC and I assume therefore the OBC, mandates that you require no more than 22 newtons or 5lbs of force to open the door (if not otherwise equipped with an operator). Maintenance needs to adjust the overhead closer to be in compliance.

Are you saying this particular toilet is more than the mandated maximum distance from the wall (480mm or 18 7/8", 450mm preferred) from centerline of toilet), or that it's too far for you (and therefore the NBC may be problematic in fact for accessible toilets?

Can you try to pay attention to the brands of automatic flushometers you come across that give you this problem, and report on them on YT. My hope is that you will find that some brand's sensors will be more accommodating to you than others; and I want to know (or confirm) who they are, so I can specify the right product. It may be challenging because, I think only Toto is brave enough to mark their product, and it may be indicative of their performance. Try to identify if its a Toto, or Sloan, or a Zurn, or Kohler, or Moen etc. Thx

Thanks for posting! Inspired as a para to try this!

I am only seeing this now. When it comes to a stroke patient where one side is totally disabled it is vital that transfer is at both sides. All bathrooms that I have been to are only useful if your left side has been affected by stroke.

Take it to your local handyman and have him put a hinge in the handle bar post

I've recently started learning how to basically be an adult wheelchair user since I've been using one on and off since I was a toddler. I didn't need skills like filling up gas and cooking for myself when I was a child. So I've been teaching myself those maneuvers. Where did you get that transfer plate that's attached to your driver's seat? What's it called? I've never seen that before, and it would be so helpful to me.

I guess we are spoiled here in Manitoba - all of the Co-op gas stations (and there are a lot of them in Winnipeg and in most small towns as well) have both Self-Serve and Full-service pumps with an Attendant. Neither my wife nor I are in a chair, but a number of our friends are. Interesting point you brought up about the width of the curbing around the pumps and the height of the pumps- I’m going to check that this weekend.

Thanks for this! Curious architect here, in an ideal situation, would it be better to design a universal washroom with a Type 'A' (both sides lateral transfer layout, with a hinge-down grab bar on both sides of the toilet) , or a Type 'B' (one side lateral transfer, with wall-mounted grab bars on the side and back walls, and one hinge-down grab bar on the transfer side)? There is only enough room in this old building that we're renovating for one Universal Washroom, so I'd like to get it right.

Julie, your video really opened my eyes! Thank you for showing the effort refueling takes, and it would be multiple times harder in snow. How fantastic that your video caught the eye of engineering students at York University.... I can't wait to see what they develop. Kudos to you Julie for all you do!

I don't take my whole wallet, I put my debt or credit card in my bra just in case someone walks up on me most people are not willing to reach into your bra to rob you

You're pretty

How do you then get dressed ?

Wonderful!!!

bless I can help you ❤️

I can help you ❤️

Perfecto set up! It’s encouraging to see this kind of set up a few times through your video’s, is there no way to petition to the US government to make this set ip mandatory in all accessible bathrooms where possible? Will give me hope to one day visit the US.

This is similar to “changing places” we have here in the UK, although we have a hoist in them too as standard, allowing for the supported transfers of those with quadriplegia and profound physical disabilities, I do like the changing table though, looks very comfortable.

I had to click as I spied the pull down grab bar, the reason I can’t visit the US is because they don’t have a bar either side of the loo for transfers, and that unfortunately goes for Disney parks, including the one in Paris, and certain American cruise lines too, again including Disney 😩…. I live in the UK, and a document M bathroom set up here is standard, so I’ve been spoilt really, I do hope the US adopts this set up…. I mean for the life of me I don’t understand who the grab bar that goes behind the toilet is meant to help 🤷🏼‍♀️ so great your brother helped ensuring his house was accessible for you ☺️

Can u show how u do a floor transfer

Really good and informative video! Thanks for sharing ;)

Thank you for sharing. You are an amazing woman! :)

Thanks for sharing. I just broke my back and now in a wheelchair. Trying to adjust my new life.

well if you lived In NJ getting gas is no problem since you can't pump your own gas it's done for. matter a fact you can'r do your own gas it's elligal in NJ

Thanks for sharing this - this video really underscores the point you've made many times that managing energy use is critical. BTW - are there any old-school full serve gas stations around?

Thank you for this!

Love this material! Is there a public place you can test this out? thanks!

I had a epic fall when the toilet seat let go at a local mall, thanks for sharing

Awesome! Thank you for the great review!

AWESOME

The toilet paper dispenser is too far from the toilet and I feel it's too high. Shy of ripping it all out, they'd have been better off using the inset tissue dispenser. I also noticed that there's no vertical grab bar on the urinal.

Thank you Julie I only wish there were more contractors or cabinet makers who could do this work. Rosemarie’s drop down upper drawers are exactly what I’m looking for.

No able person has a clue how hard this is. Nicely done!

It stands to reason that only 2 of your wheels have brakes, and if one of those braked wheels lifts off the floor as the chair teeters you're left with *one* braked wheel, not enough to make the chair stay put.

hi Julie - is the floor uneven because you took the tiles out or was it laid that way by your tile setter?

Great video! Thanks for the knowledge! 👊

Must have felt very strange, but freeing! Enjoy!

To meet code requirements in some countries the sink needs to be within reach of the toilet. That way you don't have to touch your wheels between washing your hands and cathing.

What's the name of that?

Might be easier to transfer left leg first? How to transport? Does it disassemble, how heavy is the largest part. Rentals or purchase only

Very cool but how easy is it to transfer back to the chair, against gravity and height? My upper body strength isn't the greatest so I don't think I could do it.

Hello from another disabled UA-camr! This conversation and topic of universal design is so needed and important. Many people don't realize how applicable UD is until they see it. Please continue with more interviews of others who live in universally designed spaces. It's so enjoyable and educational. Many thanks!

Thanks Julie for posting this video, sharing your progress and and your advocacy for accessibility.

You are incredibly inspirational Julie. Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank you for your passion to help transform lives and make accessibility available for everyone who benefits from it.
