Raise and lower the mirror until he or she can see most or all of his or her body, including shoes. When the proper amount of the body can be seen in the mirror, measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the mirror. This will be the distance up from the floor that the bottom of the mirror should be mounted.
Is that how you do that? I would have never guessed that!:)

4.19.6* Mirrors. Mirrors shall be mounted with the bottom edge of the reflecting surface no higher than 40 in (1015 mm) above the finish floor (see image above).

Well here ya go. I knew I wasn't dreaming about the 40" bottom of a mirror height. It is the ADA Standard I was thinking of. So....In that case THERE IS A STANDARD AFTERALL. :)

Imagine that...Ole Bud was right again. Don't you guys just hate it when that happens?:laughing:
