Couple of weeks ago Julie mentioned a passing interest in the walk in
style bathtubs. I was at the plumbing supply house yesterday looking
for a few things so I asked about them. The saleswoman said they ran
about $4000 to $8000, but the one on display was $12,000. Sales of
them was very slow too, little interest.

No, varies with what has to be done on the site.

Interesting! I had looked at the prices. The only way I would get one
would be if I somehow fell into a lot of money. But if I did that, I'd
likely buy a new house! Or if I could build my own, might consider it.

My parents had been considering a stair lift. But now my mom is selling her
house. I would imagine that one of those might make a house hard to sell.

Because you're stupid, like your mother and grandmother before you. The story of your life is the story of a family of defectives, a festering, pus-filled boil on the ass of the human race.

I don't like the big outfits like Bathfitters. I'd just feel I was
getting screwed. I have a local contractor doing it and I know his
work and reputation. We just have to finalize what we want. I
figure 5 to 7 K will do what I want.

Well, all that stuff does cost extra, but the specs should be
discussed up front.
