Bathroom Grab Rail
Bob and Ryley put the finishing touches on in the bathroom. They install a grab bar to help a person in a wheelchair to maneuver. The grab bar has a flange and lag bolts that are used to secure it to the wall. Ryley first uses a ratchet to make a round hole in the drywall. Then he bolts the flange to two-by-eights that have been fastened in between the studs to provide a screwing surface. Finally the bar goes over the mounting flange and is screwed in. Ryley installs a recessed brushed chrome toilet paper holder as well and then moves on to the tilted vanity mirror. The mirror is hinged so that tilts for a wheelchair-bound person. Ryley screws the hinged end into the wood behind the drywall and tilts it to twenty degrees. He then screws in the top part of the mirror. Lastly, he installs a standard medicine chest. The wall around it has been framed to receive the chest and once it is in place Ryley simply screws the sides into the studs.
