Default grab bars installation

First off, since someone might be putting a lot of weight on the grab
bars, it would be better to anchor them right into the studs. However
since the wall is lathe and plaster , toggle bolts would certainly be
better than if trying to install on thin Sheetrock.


I assumed my house would be non-standard so used a stud finder...but due
to artifacts in the lathe and plaster, it was not correct.

I ended up finding the studs the old fashioned way by simply driving in
an extremely fine nail until I hit studs. The eight tiny holes I made
were easily filled by a tiny dab of Spackle applied with my finger tip.


How do you use your lathe

if you put plaster on it?

BTW, there is a home wall construction
technique called "lath and plaster."
