My first question is, what do you do if there is a fire? I would be very interested in what the emergency plan is for evacuating a several-story building of people with mobility challenges.
I'd definitely like to see more about how you cook!

Thanks for this Ben. It is always insightful to see how others in our situation are adapting.
That adjustable part of the kitchen counter is amazing! So awesome that you can make your space adaptable and more importantly, homey. Well done! (Would rather see you cook than shower 🤷♀️😊)

Nice setup! The hi/low sink counter and the shelf below the oven were new to me.
What a great facility - are there m,any of these in the UK - 1st time I've actually seen one, looks really well thought out. The hairdressing room would be very useful, I've not been able to get my hair done for 4-years - so having an accessible custom facility would make getting your hair done a breeze!
I love your apartment and the adaptive features. I especially like the kitchen sink and counter that adjust. I have loved your videos, started watching just over a month ago. I live in the united states

I watch a lot of the workout videos but I really like these lifestyle informative ones. I am fairly new to the adaptive life so I peruse quite a few "how to" videos. I am always searching for ideas, so I'd love to see and hear how you do your daily routines. There is no better teacher than experience. Thank you for sharing.

Your apartment is wonderfully adapted Ben! That kitchen counter for the dishes looks so glorious to have! I totally need to find a couch like yours that is low level so I can actually be on a couch. My bathroom was remodeled this summer and I think we have the same sink! Since you said your laundry is on a different floor in your building how do you bring up your own loads of clothes? And do you clean your own apartment? It would totally be helpful if you made a video of more of what you do in the kitchen! It would also be helpful if you did a video of how you transfer from your chair to the toilet and how your shower process goes of safely getting out of the shower once you and the chair are wet! I still just go from my bed to the shower chair to roll over the toilet so if I’m in my wheelchair I have an extra transfer onto the bed then to switch to the shower chair but would love to take that extra step out and just go from chair to toilet. And do you keep medical supplies at a table near your bed and if so what kind of table or small dresser do you use? Thanks! 😃

Lovely Home with Great Access! I Love the wall color & the greenery/plants. Are some of them real? I wanted one of those ovens that open out, so I'm not so far away using it, but was unable to find when my home was built in 2008. I want to eventually upgrade to that & have an adjustable or lower counter area. Would like to see you cook a meal🙂

I’m in the process of designing and getting planning permission (or try to).....can you add a list of of make / models of certain items ie your fridge, kitchen / flooring manufacturers etc. Also; what are the room sizes...what’s the minimum sizes you feel you need for them to be useable....?

If I get enough likes I'll do each room in detail as that'd be a bit of research to find it out
Without giving personal details, can you say who built the apartments that you live in ? It would be great to find a national building company that makes accessible housing. My partner is paraplegic and we are looking at options for our next home, we are getting fed up with struggling with unadapted housing.
