Bathrooms can be dangerous places, especially when your physical capabilities are limited due to age, illness, or injury. Slips and falls on wet floors, electrical outlets close to water, and sharp edges on fixtures are just some potential hazards. The elderly and people with mobility issues or disabilities may experience additional difficulties, such as getting in and out of the shower or reaching items stored at too high or too low a level.

But you may be surprised to learn that one of my favorite inexpensive DIY tools is paint! I’m not just talking about painting walls.

Leaks or something as seemingly ordinary as running out of hot water could indicate a deeper underlying issue that requires a professional evaluation.
