it looks like it could get up and walk around by itself

that , or some kind of copier maybe, i dont know

i so envy you and all the totally awsome discoveries you get to make motts

the conditions between the buildings is totally shocking

now if this isnt something right out of gothic prison, i dont know what is.

it looks very sterile, maybe some type of isolation ward.

i love this shot

awsome

i like the strange angles and the windows in all these rooms

Motts, you have outdone yourself. This is picture i would hang on my living room wall.

its amazing how clean and untouched these look.

wonderfully creepy yet beautiful at the same time !1

now this is beautiful, thanks motts

i just dont understand why they didnt sell off the equipment that they leave in these places doesnt make sense to let it rot away in an empty building

i worked in a nursing home and these were not only used for hydro, they were used for daily baths. it did have a chair on the front that was detachable so you could wheel it into the patients room,if they couldnt bear weight a lift was used to lower them in the chair , then you could wheel them right to the tub, hook them up and use a pedal to raise it and away they went. from my experience, most didnt like going up in the air, and alot were freaked out by the water going almost up to their necks. as for the temps. if it got to a certain temp an alarm would go off so you knew you were too hot. ours hand a hose built in and a few levers for soap and cleaner, some had a built in scale too .
