Not the rainy day kind, but the kind you step under to start your morning. We’ve been staying at a “budget motel” while waiting for our belongings to be delivered to the new house. Tonight is our last night, and we’ve been here two weeks.
Dear Husband is a tad bit shorter than I am, so this didn’t bother him much, but our shower has apparently been designed for those who are about 4’11” tall. I have to tilt my head back as far as I can to wash my hair. The flow of water is fine. The temperature is fine. My only complaint is that the shower head is a bit low.
Now, I understand that I could have turned around and dropped my head forward, but I’m a bear of little brain, and I’m very much a creature of habit. It took me until today to figure out the other options.
I was at the new house, cleaning, today, when I realized that Dear Husband is going to have the opposite problem with the shower head in our new bathroom. It’s been hung high enough so that someone about 6’4” could wash their hair without having to bend their knees. Again, good water flow and temperature, but the height of the fixture might be a problem.
I guess I’ll have to put a trampoline in the shower. 😉
Glad to see you are making progress. Waiting for photos when you can get to it (and to your camera).
Shower: Or…you could replace the stationary shower head with a hand-held model. I’ve done that in our showers and had at least two support brackets installed for each – to better accommodate people of different heights. Most of the time, the shower heads function as stationary; but, one may lift a head out of the support to use as hand-held. This also makes cleaning the enclosure easier for me.
The shower I wrote about is one of the hand-held models, but I think we need to add the vertical track to make it a bit easier for DH. I think we might want to do the same in the guest bath, and update the shower head as well.
It seems that most motels have the shower hear set pretty low. I usually have that problem, and I am only 5’6″, so feel really sorry for someone who is 6′.
