    Hi all,

    Long story short. The Mother in Law is presently in Hospital and won't be let home until she has a downstairs Toilet etc in place.
    Does anyone know of a reputable Builder in the Dublin 7 area who has experience of doing this type of work. As we have to get 3 Quotes and then appoint someone to build it.
    I could certainly build it myself but for obvious reasons Builder needs to be registered and I'm retired now.
    I assume proper drawings will need to be prepared or will the Occupational Therapists drawings suffice.
    If anyone has any names or recommendations you can PM me if you wish.
    Thanks for any help.

    Make sure you go through the proper channels. There is funding available for this type of thing, and even some charitable organisations who will provide it FOC. They will even provide the recommended builder... I can't remember the name of the organisations, but I know, as my ex's family were highly skilled at getting everything imaginable from the state...

    Thanks Lads,
    At the moment it between the Social, the Hospital, Occupational Therapists and D.Corp
    She's in her nineties, never a day sick in her life until recently. She got an infection in her leg and now her Legs are nearly gone, Can move around the house but not able to walk anymore than 100 yds.
    Refuses to move in with any of the Family. Won't have home help, or meals on wheels, just downright stubborn.
    This has to be built asap.
    If you could remember any of those names Bluefoam it would be a great help.

    Thanks,
