^^^ Awwww.....so cute!

Today I installed grab bars in my Mom's shower stall.

According to what I found on the Internet, the standard setup is 3 bars.

I bought everything from the local Home Depot....and only had to go back 2 times...ha ha.

I also converted her fixed shower head to a portable one.

And I put the seat in earlier this week.

The installation wasn't too bad. I used a tile drill bit to get through the tile, a mason bit to go into the drywall, and some heavy load drywall anchor/screws for fasteners.

I pulled on each bar as hard as I could and nothing budged so it should be fine for my Mom.

The vertical "transfer" bar also has an adjustable bracket on it to hold the shower head. And the other 2 bars are 'peened' to help with grip.







She turns 96 next month. Her renewed driver's license came in today's mail. Her hair looks bad because she's been stuck at home with a sore back after a fall at the end of November and hasn't been able to get to her hairdresser. But not bad for almost 96, huh?
