Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet
ThanksForAllTheFish@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoNo offense intended, but isn’t that why shower rooms were invented? Waterproof the walls/floor with that cheap plastic stuff, curved edges on the walls for easy cleaning, plastic curtain on rails on the ceiling for blocking most of the water. Slope it down into the floor drain. No steps or doors. Is there really no safety net to get this sort of thing installed where you live? I would happily contribute a bit to a gofundme link for this, and I’m sure there’s plenty of others who would too. Example gofundme.com/…/helping-ric-live-safely-in-his-lat… . Ideally social services should have grants for this sort of thing though. There may be one you can access depending on where you live, DM me and I’d happily put in a bit of research to help you find out if this is an option.

Yeah can’t afford that either. Can’t install anything because I’m renting, can’t be anything but renting because I’m disabled.
And the legal system I live under doesn’t have any law to make landlords follow accommodations…

That’s completely fair! Sorry, I underestimated the cost and the problem of getting permission as a renter. I looked into it properly and, although the plastic covering and curtain are cheap, constructing the drainage, sloped floor and waterproofing can still cost around £6,000–£8,500 here. If you’re comfortable saying which country or state you’re in, I’d still be happy to check whether there are any local grants, charities or tenant protections that might help. No need to give your precise location.

I’m sorry I’m unable to share where I live because of privacy concerns. But it’s very nice that you’re trying to help. Hope you have a nice day, cheers :)
(I have however spent a long time exploring all the possibilities and am fairly certain there isn’t much to do for now, bar moving which since I’m rent controlled would probably be impossible financially ahah. So more just a reality of being disabled and unable to work under the system than something that can be fixed at an individual level unfortunately).
