Culver took a step forward with their Affordable Housing Task Force on Wednesday March 11th. Representatives from the Town Council, Redevelopment Commission, Plan Commission, Public Schools, Culver Academies and MCEDC met at the library to discuss the issues and goals regarding affordable housing. With the exception of two with staff positions, all were volunteers from the community stepping up to try and make things better.

Eric Wildey of Game Room Guys shared this video he made of the interior of Yei-Yei’s Game Room. Game Room Guys supplied all of the arcade games. I think he’s done an excellent job here!
We were still finalizing a few details when this was made, but I’m probably one of the few that would even notice that.
The page on our website for this project is still under construction as I write this, but if you want to see what’s completed so far, you can click here.
The standard grab bar offerings are very institutional and look like they are made for hospital or nursing home settings, i.e functional, but not aesthetically appealing. Even in new construction of assisted living facilities we often only put in the blocking for grab bars leaving the installation until they’re needed. Delta Faucet has a new line of decorative ADA grab bars that lose the institutional look, but retain the functionality. The Delta faucet grab bars come in finishes like chrome, gold and oil rubbed bronze with trims that match the Delta faucet collections. They also include anchoring systems to meet ADA standards.
These are just the latest offerings. Also check out the Kohler, Rohl and Bellacor collections.
Like most ADA grab bars it is best to plan for these in new construction to allow proper blocking to be placed behind the walls, but these new decorative offerings make it more attractive to install these in new construction before there is a need.
Homewerks Worldwide has developed a bathroom exhaust fan with bluetooth music streaming capability. The fan will move 90 cfm at a noise level of only 1.5 sones.
I didn’t realize music in the bathroom was such a thing! Previously I told you about the Kohler Moxie Showerhead (here) that streams music along with the water. (See what I did there?) Before that I told you about the Amerec’s Ipod Shower Docking Station (here). I guess no one sings acapella in the shower these days.
