I finely got my wheelchair accessible bathroom. The city has a $5000 grant
to help make homes accessible, but I still had to put in a bit to get what I
wanted.

My bedrooms bathroom was not very big. You go in and on the left is a sink
vanity that runs the length of the bathroom. The right was a tub, then a
wall that was only 3ft long with a toilet behind it. Because of the wall, I
could not even recline over the tub to wash my hair The walkway between the
sink and the tub side is 4ft wide by 8.5ft long.
I took the wall and tub out, so now it's just a big square with the toilet
in the same area and a roll in shower unit in the other corner. The shower
is floor level so I can turn around, recline, etc. The shower floor border
had this cool rubber tube like thing to keep the water from flowing out, but
it's hollow so I can just run  my chair over it and it flattens out then
pops back up.
It's done except waiting for the floor tiles to set, it had wood floors.
It's cool that the city paid $5000, they also gave a $275 grant for changing
my grass backyard into a desrt landscape. Which I was doing, so that was
cool. That's a whole nother story. The landscapers tried to rip me off with
a $3000 overcharge.
