Why I never thought of adding a shutoff when I remodeled my bathroom is beyond me...

I've been adding them to pretty much all my big plumbing jobs. Kitchen sink was leaking... Added shut off. My water heater now has 2 shutoffs within 2 feet of easier... Though that's more so I can flush it yearly as an on demand heater. And now my shower has shut offs. The only plumbing I haven't touched yet is my half bath. Not touching it until I plan to renovate.

The problem is where to locate the values. The bathrooms I’m familiar with don’t have an easy place like under sink or behind toilet; the plumbing is all in the wall.
