Metal Tub
When I was growing up, we took baths. It wasn’t fancy, we didn’t bathe to relax, bathing was just to get the dirt off (I spent many formative years on a farm). For the country in general, the daily bath fell out of favor and was replaced by the now-ubiquitous shower. Who can argue with the efficiency and speed of a quick shower when we need to get children and ourselves out the door? Showers can also save water and energy depending on how much time we spend with the water running (my children are an exception).
Whereas a few years ago, a tub was just a fixture we included for bathing small children or to soak a tired back, today a tub is often the centerpiece of the bathroom. These tubs come in a galaxy of shapes and materials and include features too numerous to detail. My favorites are often the most simple, which are made to just sit and soak.

Bathtubs are very nice but not one of these are for for the Seniors or Elderly. We need to see some bathtubs for the disabled persons. Thank you.
My brother was an architect who lived in Indianapolis, Indiana for 40 years and he would stress the fact to always take in being practical when designing. He helped with the design of the Children’s Museum, as well as many public buildings, and school buildings and private homes both new and renovations of existing homes. He worked long hours and literally died at a job he was doing contract work for and they found him at his desk. He had died of a massive heart attack. Estimated time of death was 3 am. At the time he had three jobs going all at once for different clients.
