Last shower head was a water limited one like what you can only buy in California because of the constant water rationing.
So I thought let’s go to Home Depot and swap it out. I browse a little bit and decide on a big disc type water head. But while I was there I thought about how I’m 6’ tall and where the pipe comes out of the wall is about 5’10”. I was constantly having to bend over to get under the water. Off to the PVC selection. A few fittings and a pipe and I was off. I set it up and it still didn’t drop water like I wanted so I took the shower head off and heated up a soldering iron and made the silicon holes bigger. Now it’s like a Hawaiian waterfall with a water drop of about 1’ above my head. It’s perfect… Attached File |

I think I've seen this in a Guatemalan hotel. Did you install a 110v outlet in the shower as well?

Totally looks like something my granddad would've done to make shit work. I love it!

You will be able to measure the time from a temperature adjustment to feeling it in minutes.
Lol, looks like something I'd do. |

Oh well, at least you're not out more than 5 bucks for the PVC and hook, so when it pulls out of the ceiling and coldcocks you, at least not much will be wasted. |

Most of the time you can remove the water restrictor from the shower head, then it flows real good!

The lamp hook and green ground wire compliment the shoddy workmanship of the pvc pipe. If your shower were a gun, it would definitely be a bubba-fucked Mosin Nagant.

I bet you could get a matching wall-mounted cookie tray at Blood Bath and Beyond.

There's the old saying "if it's stupid and it works, then it isn't stupid".
I think this is an exception |

Turn the drop nipple from flaccid to erect and you can get another 4 inches of up on that rig. Might as well go for it all.

OP has the unbridled redneck ingenuity of a kludge coupled with a complete disregard for asthetics, and the pride in his half ass work that make this country great!
