Nothing in bathroom remodeling is
more frustrating than not being able
to secure what you're installing to
solid framing. Whether you're
hanging a cabinet, roughing in electrical
boxes, or just trying to install
the towel bars and get on to the next
job, you need something solid for
your nail or screw to bite into. And
it's equally frustrating to have to tear
out a stud or reframe an area of the
floor because you forgot to allow for
the plumbing pipes. With some forethought,
you can make life easier for
yourself and leave behind a sturdier
job if you put framing, backing, and
blocking where you'll need them.
