Add bathroom-wall blocking for future grab bars

When building or remodeling a bathroom, install blocking within the walls for grab bars, even if they aren't specified.

Then, photograph the blocking before the walls are closed up. As your clients age or become infirm, grab bars supported by secure blocking, already in place, will be much easier to add.
