Well, putting in a shower and level entryways made the house I designed and built accessible for me. I could have put in many more access features, but I plan on selling the place. Overly modified = a very small group of buyers, reducing the asking price or expensive renovations prior to selling.
Don't short sell your self short Curt, cut it up, tear it down, ...lol. I agree with U. BUT you can get away with things. My wife loves a higher dish washers because she bends less. AB'S are always trying to take use of things we have fighted for.
Peace
