Yay! I just fixed the shower. No more plastic bag hanging out of the wall. It just works! Now I need to make an access panel door to cover the hole.

Just like one of them perfeshnals.

I've been working on getting my shower down to the most limited time. Without shortchanging any particular area.

It helps a lot to have an "illegal" shower head.

I wish I was in a hot shower right now...with massage jets!

I hate my parents' shower.
I wish they didn't have one, so I'd have an excuse to take a bath.
It's a cliched European shower - no pressure at all, and every now and then it decides to change temperature - going from freezing to boiling (not literally) so you have to duck in and out of it mid-range.

Given a better shower I'd probably take longer.
In this one I only do the basics. Having short hair helps.

We're going to be doing a bathroom remod, including removing the current 'garden tub' that we never use and replacing it with a nice large shower for two. Two shower heads, independent controls, etc. Apparently they're all the rage these days.

But I'll have to explain it to my mom. :shudder:

Alone, 7-10 minutes. Some mornings, maybe less than 7, I never set a timer.

I have to wash and condition my hair every day. My husband takes longer ones than me, so if I am lucky I get 10-15 before the hot water runs out.

The water heater in our house is great and never seems to run out. 'Cept when my SIL is visiting; she takes 40-minute showers!

BrianR · 01-22-2010, 09:21 PM

Do you have one of those handheld shower massage things? That could do it right there...
