Mod Shower - Page 2

Tom, it was meant as good-natured ribbing. Sorry, I did not mean to offend. I do appreciate all of the work you've done to publish your mods and you are a benefit to the group.

And to all of those folks talking about needing the shower to have space for two people: no, no, no, you use the OUTDOOR shower for that!

"you use the OUTDOOR shower for that!"

Hmmm. That could lead to even more problems!

Since I am not 5'10", I have not considered this, but... Might there be a way to attach the showerhead to the ceiling? My 2417 has a rail for the shower curtain to run on. I have added a couple of clips that I attach some rubber tube to, which suspends the curtain when we are not showering. I just wonder if you may be able to rig a support between the ceiling rails.

Just a thought.

I apologize for what I said and you too add a lot of interest to this site. Please forgive my abruptness as I was in a bad mood when I read what you said and took it out of context as a slur on my physique....yes that's right, I'm no bean pole if you have seen my photo and have faced ridicule all my life about this. So you pushed my button by accident. I know I joke around a lot, but I am trying to curb that part of my personality so as not to openly offend folks here.

Please accept my condolences....
Tom....the guy with the foot up his.....

I did exactly that in my 3124KS...check out page 12 on my website and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I've stood in the "tub" and raised the handheld shower up in an attempt to put it over my head. (Now I am not suggesting that I have a big head -though the misses might disagree-, but I could not fit it in the space between my head and the ceiling).

I loosened up the frame that holds the shower curtain up to the ceiling, ran heavy duty fishing line around the mounting screws, back and forth around each one, and now have a place to (1) hang 4 or 5 towels from the ceiling up to dry, and (2) stick the handheld shower head on the ceiling suspended by the fishing line. It is nearly invisible and very flexible. You can't get it any closer to the ceiling than this, and the head leans down enough so that you can twist the valve on the head on and off.

Works for us.

Tom, and B&D, those are both along the lines of what I was thinking about. Tom, yours looks pretty good! Better than what I had in mind. If I had that problem, I would likely do something like it, maybe with a flatter showerhead. But, I am not so tall as to need to do that mod. My magnet-mount and adjustable head mount gets it up high enough for us. (I may have to take a picture of it on our trip next week, and post the "mod".)

Trying to add a pic here (posted a long time ago before a couple of board hiccups)....wait for it...

Now that's thinking outside the box. Ya kept it simple, cheap and easy.
