"Fall weather" doesn't seem to start here until November ... sigh I'm going to run the dirt as paint protector theory by my dh. He's always fussing at me about my car being dirty.lol natvtxn, I read in the bamboo muhly post about your dil's accident. I'm glad they are ok!! Did the person that caused the accident stick around or keep going?

Here is a picture of the fiberglass that was done. This picture is BEFORE we had to put in the platform for the tub. The plumber wanted us to put in the platform but neglected to tell us that from the start. We then re-fiberglassed the platform into the shower area. Are you saying we should have fiberglassed the shower walls too??

Karen, I've never saved any Vintage cards on my computer because I don't have a color copier at home. I ended up trading printers with one from the office. We've quit using color there also. However DD has a color one at home so I could always have her print for me! Thanks I brought out the gloves last year after seeing Jane's and kept them with my Easter basket. I'm trying to be more organized and with all the ideas here it's helping. Candy, I thought of your sign when I seen that card too. Forgot to mention it so glad you brought it up. Jeanne, love your embossed Easter Bunny card. It's great that you put it out to share with your decorations. Duluthinbloom, thanks for all the info. Hope you will share pictures of some of your cards with us. Sounds like you knew when to pick them up and protect them. Nana, glad you enjoyed the cards and display on the sewing machine cab. Marylee, so happy to have you here with us and all your sweet comments. Jane, thanks for the comments and the idea to share the gloves for Easter decor. Marlene, I use to always wear gloves to church but guess none of them survived my growing up.LOL However, DSis may have ended up with them as she's always been the antique collector in the family. Magpie, that one is my favorite also. Hope you will find some real ones one day. Luvs, you are the one who insisted I come here and I'm so thankful you did.(Well most days)LOL Because of you I now cherish all the precious treasures from DM. Thanks again for being the 'Enabler' who turned on the light for me! Thanks for all the comments and I'll be sharing more in the future. Punk

I don't think seats in showers are all that common. Instead, I think that on this board, Houzz, and other boards you're seeing a small segment of the population who are going "above and beyond". I can see numerous reasons this'd be true: - Many people -- me, for example -- don't custom build until they're building THE HOUSE that's going to be THEIR HOUSE for the rest of their lives; thus, they want the seat for their elderly years. - People who are building THE HOUSE tend to be able and willing to spend a larger amount than the average homebuilder; thus, they're going to demand more bells and whistles than the average home builder -- to say it differently, they're expecting more than the basic builder house. - People who frequent these boards tend to care more about their houses and tend to put more thought into them than does the average person. So, I think it's easy to get a skewed perspective on these boards of what "everyone" has. Having said that, yes, I'm including a seat in my shower. It's a luxury, but it's an affordable luxury and one that I think I'll appreciate.
