Shower Stall and Drywall (HA0909)

Buy Show Video

The plumber's roughing in the shower stall, a model specially designed for wheelchair users, and we see some drywall going up in our accessible unit in Roxbury. Bob takes us on a field trip to learn about a new trend in community living. Involving lots of common areas, sustainable building materials, and accessibility for people with disabilities, this charming development in Cambridge, Massachusetts is heated with geothermal energy.
