The Many Benefits of a Walk-In Bathtub(Photo: Submitted by Tundraland Home Improvements)

At Tundraland, one of our primary goals is to help you stay in your home safely and comfortably, for years to come. So, if you or a family member are having trouble getting in and out of the bathtub, converting your old tub or shower to a walk-in bathtub can be a necessary improvement to your bathroom. But even before that stage, there are several reasons to consider getting a walk-in tub for your bathroom.

Improved Safety

Every year, over 200,000 people are injured in the United States at home, with the majority of these accidents occurring in the bathroom. Having to step over a high tub wall onto a slippery surface creates an environment ripe for accidents, and while you can apply “slip-proof” coatings and other products, those serve as temporary solutions at best. A walk-in tub eliminates the high step into the bathtub, creating a safer environment for every member of the family.

Ease of Use

A Kohler walk-in tub by Tundraland makes bathing safe and easy. Instead of trying to step over a bathtub, a Kohler walk-in tub has a very easy to use door that was cleverly designed to be very easy to open and close. In addition to a safe and easy door, the entry step in is extra low. This means you can enter and exit your new tub with total peace of mind.

Plus, our walk-in tubs come with very easy-to-operate knobs and handles that let you control the temperature and water flow placed so that you won’t have to exert yourself. In addition, if you’re worried about getting cold while sitting and waiting for your tub to fill up with water, our walk-in tubs come with a heated backrest that not only keeps you warm but also helps to keep the water warm.

Bathtub Renovation

When you refit your bathroom with a new bathtub, you get several options for custom features that you may have never even considered for yourself. Our tubs come with options for airflow jets that feel great while helping alleviate arthritis, as well as hydrotherapy options that when used, feel like a deep tissue massage.

In addition to walk-in tub options, you might also want to consider turning your existing bathtub into a low-step or no-step shower, which also adds safety and can allow wheelchair access. A low step-in shower, combined with well-placed grab bars makes a showering experience safe and enjoyable.

Again, our goal is to help you stay in your own home, safely and comfortably, for years to come. Whatever your bathroom renovation needs, Tundraland is here to provide you with an efficient, affordable solution. We offer a wide array of services across Wisconsin, from Appleton low-step showers to Milwaukee walk-in tubs. For the best value in bathroom remodeling in the area, give us a call today for free details at (800) 834-4307 or visit our website at www.Tundraland.com for more information.

Prosecutor says two attackers stabbed NMSU student to death | Lubbock Online

ALBUQUERQUE {AP} Crime scene evidence suggests New Mexico State University student Carly Martinez struggled with two men before she was murdered, prosecutors told jurors at the trial of Jason Desnoyers. The 18-year-old student was driven to a remote Las Cruces mesa , was stabbed more than a dozen times in the head, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, and her body was "left to rot" in the desert, District Attorney Susana Martinez said Tuesday. Two weapons were used, a single-edged knife and another instrument, said prosecutor Martinez , no relation to the victim. "Two weapons, two men," she said. Desnoyers, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and criminal solicitation. Co- defendant Jesse Avalos , 26, is to be tried separately in September on similar charges. Defense attorney Gary Mitchell contends there was only one weapon. He said Avalos wore a belt with a knife, screwdriver and other tools the night Carly Martin

Stay in a Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO

Set on a hilly incline and designed by architects Peter and Lukas Jungmann, the cabin appears to hover above ground like some sort of alien object—a stark contrast to its pastoral environment and the traditional Austrian chalets that surround it.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 1 of 11 -" /> Because of its irregular, otherworldly form, and how it seems to be suspended in midair, the cabin was named "Ufogel," which is a melding of the acronym UFO and "vogel," meaning bird in German.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 2 of 11 -" /> Available for rent through Urlaubsarchitektur, Ufogel’s exterior is covered in rustic Austrian-style shingles, but its sharp angles and asymmetrical shape gives it a distinctly futuristic, nest-like look.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 3 of 11 -" /> Within, the split-level, 485-square- foot space acc
