Very thorough and helpful!
Technical note:
When using a level vertically, it is called checking that it is "plumb."
When using a level horizontally, you are checking that the item is "level." 😉
Thank you for representing OT! You do us a credit!
It’s my honor!
Excellent instructions in exact details for a professional job. We appreciate you sharing your experience. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
Thank you!
great video, I like that you put silicone in the holes for waterproofing. You are the only video that featured that tip
Thank you!
I agree! I will also be adding silicone to the bar I Plan on intstalling in my mom’s bathroom tomorrow. ..i forgot the stud finder at home …🤬
Great instructional video! I also had a two of the three holes hitting the studs on each end. I got creative with some longer decking screws and was able to drill at an angle toward the stud the other screws were in and it was solid! Thanks for all you do 🙂
That's a great idea! I find that each time I do a grab bar install I have to get a bit creative when locating enough studs to get the proper placement!
Another great video. Seeing a demonstration makes it easier to do this install myself.
Glad you liked it!
This was a very helpful instructional video. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Very good video and instructions
Thank you!
Great job
Thanks!
ThankU
Excellent communications.
Thank you!
Put a magnet on the wall and it will find the nail’s in the stud. You got it
Great
♥️♥️
Im a visual learner - I wish I could sneak a Peak over your shoulder at what you are doing ..
man im just gonna grab a suction shower grab bar
No! I can’t even rely on a suction cup to hold up an aquarium heater there’s no way I could trust it home up for my precious mom!
Be honest. Third screws (x2) went into *nothing*. This is how one can lose credibility that is so difficult to achieve. Be honest.
You are correct. Prior to recording, we spent no less than 2 hours ensuring there would be studs available for this installation to find out during the actual shooting when I put the screw in and it did not reach the intended target. I should have disclosed the details when I released the video but it was so specific to the design of my (oddly designed) bathroom that I didn’t want to add a bunch of non-generalizable content. I will add a disclaimer clarifying that 3 screws is recommended by the manufacturer but after clarification, 2 was sufficient for the weight capacity I needed in my bathroom. Thank you for watching.
@@EquipMeOT Couldn't you have just used snap toggles in the holes that missed the stud?
@@mpetrie yes, that is an option for that scenario. I didn't have the right size toggles when I filmed, but later added one to that spot.
@@mpetrie She doesnt know what shes doing.
