We've moved into our new house! And, honestly, I could not be happier. Everything is on one floor, I can get into almost every room in the house (the pantry door is a hair too small for my chair to fit), the house is very open and spacious. This house is aaaaaalmost perfect. It has only one problem- The second bathroom.
Now, as I said, I can get into almost every room in the house, and that includes this bathroom. However, while my wheelchair does fit through the door, I have little room to move otherwise. For some reason, the builders of this house made it so that the door to that bathroom not only swings inward, but blocks the toilet in the process. My dad and I have examined it and are considering one of two options:
1) Install a pocket door
2) Switch the hinges around to the opposite side of the frame so the door swings outward.
All of this, of course, depends on the cost and how labor-intensive it would be, but I want a second (and third, fourth, and eleventeenth) opinion. Has anyone here ever dealt with such a situation?
