Battling a Rain Shower Head – Wet My Pants!

February 28, 2023
Gotta hang wallpaper above the shower tiles in this cramped space in an under the stairs powder room .  Between priming , measuring , hanging , yada, I had to make many trips in and out of that space. The sloped ceiling and confined area of the shower stall are difficult enough to work around.  But factor in the rain style shower head , and it got more tenuous.

But I was able to squeeze myself, my ladder , my tools , and the wallpaper strips , around, over, and under that monstrous thing.

Besides all that physical contorting, another issue  was … as I was climbing down off my ladder , my clothing got entangled in the wall-mounted faucet – and turned the water on! 

Yes, I got a dousing!  And the shower floor got wet , so my socks and feet got soaked , too! 

Not that bad, though.  And, to be honest, it was kinda funny.

This is a newish home in the Houston Heights .  Coincidentally enough, I’ve hung a good number of powder rooms with this same lay out layout .    Turns out the builder is well-known in the Heights, and uses this same floor plan models in many new build s. 

I just hope that next time, the homeowner chooses a wall-mounted showerhead!
