yes! I got the grab bar(s) that I wanted up, put up. I now have six grab bars in my bathroom. The three in the shower, two right outside the shower, and one right next to the bathroom sink. Just before the remodel started, I was in the bathroom combing my hair, and I'd started to fall backwards a little bit. My hand had reached out to the wall automatically. I didn't fall, but I noted where my hand went. I knew there was a stud there. So when I was buying grab bars for the shower upstairs, I added a couple extra. I bought eight bars.
The other one that I bought for myself is just outside the bathroom on the wall. So that when I stumblebunny into the bathroom at 4am, I have something to hold onto after letting go of the walker. The bathroom upstairs has six bars. Four in the shower (like I'd wanted in my shower when we built it a couple of years ago.) And then two outside of the shower. I'll try to take pictures tomorrow of the grab bars. The stuff upstairs just needs finishing touches. The only thing my bedroom needs is the electrician has to come in and finish the work on the electrical outlets. Hook up the doorbell so I can hear when someone comes to the door, and then put up brand new smoke detectors. Our smoke detectors were all expired. They have to be interconnected, and when we remodeled my room. The size of the room made it mandatory that I get a smoke detector in my room, even tho there's one just outside my bedroom door. (think it's only about two feet away from my door) Oh, and put a remote control on my ceiling fan and light so I can turn on the light and fan from my bed.
