While our industry concentrates on first-growth, the Swedes are working mainly on seventh- and cighth-growth tree farms. Some are even older. “My grandfather has been with a forest company that was found- ed in 1288,” said Rytter. Swedish forestry uses a lot more of the tops of the trees. They cut about four or five cen- timetres from the top of the tree, while we cut at about 10 cm. The main reason is the quality and size consistency of the trees. Because the trees are grown on of floor space throughout the home, with a minimum number of walls in the house with rooms designed to allow for maximum maneuverability was explained. “Because of the nature ‘of this home, it is a rancher style house, meaning it has a fairly large ground floor,” Carlson said. The plans contained no stairs or ramps. All doors in the house, both exterior and interior, were sliding doors. While the exterior were electronically powered, the interior were opened manually. “I have placed wooden safety bumpers on all necessary walls and hand rails have been strategi- cally placed in all appropriate locations,” Carlson continued. “As well, all light switchs, plug- ins and telephone jacks are between 42-48 inches from the floor.” Carlson designed the house with lower window sills, lower counter-tops in all rooms and in the bathroom, hands-free faucets and flush valves were installed. “The ensuit has a roll-in show- er; while the features a built-in seat’on a whirlpool bath- tub. I put in a whirlpool, because they have proven therapeutic value to people with a limited range of movement.” A working triangle was estab- lished in the designs of the kitchen, in which the three cor- ners are located at the range, fridge and sink. The kitchen also featured roll out cupboards and a containment system. The total living area of the home, not including the garage and closet space is 1644.3 square feet. The barrier-free home, sur- mised Carlson, would cost approximately $175,000 to build. Carlson, who plans to attend the Northem Alberta Institute of Te logy after pleting grade 12, was well received by members of the support group. While most comments were directed about the house, its wide hallways, spacious room and large windows, one member of the support group personally thanked Carlson for not using the word ‘handicapped’ in his pre- practices surprise visiting Swedish students As a small business person my advertising dollars are carefully budgeted.
