So you think people in wheelchairs don't iron their clothes or use vacuum cleaners ? My mother was wheelchair bound after an accident and still went about her normal life of ironing the clothes and vacuuming the house. We lifted all the sockets, and put new ones in, so she could reach them easier. I think after you've seen how someone in a wheelchair can be just as independent as everyone else, then you'll realise how stupid your last reply sounds.
OK, they might not find it too difficult to bend over and plug something in, but doing this all the time can cause more injury and discomfort to the person than is really necessary in everyday life. So isn't it easier to make small adjustments right at the start ? It make the things we use everyday to make it easier and more comfortable for everyone to use.
I think you might look back one day and say to yourself, boy, I could've done with lifting these sockets a bit higher up the wall when I had the chance. Everyone gets older and finds it more difficult to bend or stoop to plug the iron in the wall socket, so why not do it right at the start of the build ? That way, everyone can use them without discomfort.
When I stop and think about it, after we did the remodelling for my Mum, we all found things were easier to get at and use, so why didn't we have it like that in the beginning ? Weird. :-))
