Lynne, Don't you think somehow these could have gone to private homes or other nursing homes? You more than anyone here know how much that would help others. Why do you think there left to rot?

haha I'M IN! I love ur Black and white pics Motts ^^

I'd hate to go to that dentist's office. O.O

omg.....that is one scary looking dental clinic

looks mighty painful

Wasting equipment like this? This must be NC.

Were they trying to build a magnetic resonance imaging machine? Only thing I can think of.

Well, I never sat on a table saw before, but that might be a new kick!

I second Kelly Johnson's comment, thanks for all that always inspirational work! Perfect mood, mother nature is striking back (aah, it's sunny spring again over here..) and the composition makes me dream. Thanks you!

this reminds me when i was interned in a hospital where children from 12 or older where put together with adults ... i ended up in a ward with 4 old man one was learning to walk again after a friend tryed to scared him when he was seating on top of one of those table saws so he turned the saw on ... the saw was up ... woopsie there goes my friends ass ... anyway they used a similar chair to take him to the bathroom but most of the times he wouldnt make there , as soon has he was on the chair he assumed that it was a toilet ... so ...ahh well you guys imagine the rest

Great set of shots! I am saddened by all this adaptive equipment just sitting and rotting as many folks could benefit from it. A few chairs look like they may have been custom made on site while some are from major manufacturers. Overall tho, it is frustrating but not much you can really do.

Thanks again for the tour :)

Hah, I have a chair almost like this one. A Quickie 2 as it's called. I guess someone needed some casters off this one. ;)

I am not familiar with a "vacuum." Isn't that the thing we're supposed to push around the house every year?

The weird thing about that machine is that it has the same pattern on the outside as a sound-proof room has on the inside. Odd.

Torr is a unit of pressure, and 10^-something isn't a negative value, just a very very small value. Useful for measuring pressures as you approach a vacuum.
