Thanks for the honey-done...

We've lived in this house for 14 years, and I've never been crazy about the shower in the master bathroom.  It is very small.  It has a weird showerhead set up.  The cold and hot water controls are backward.  And the shower head could not be swiveled, so in order not to have it come straight down on my head, I had to hug the perimeter of the shower (and curse that bleeping showerhead) during the entire process.

For years I made do.  Then one jet got blocked (that vinegar soak would not dislodge), and there was no way to avoid either water on my head or water spraying cockeyed right into my face.  I did not suffer in silence.  I finally quit taking showers, and only took baths, but that's a lot of water, and my knees are not happy with climbing and lowering into the bath.

We have talked about remodeling the bathroom to make the shower larger and handicap accessible (wider entrance and lower threshold as well as built-in grab bars), and also adding a walk-in bathtub.  (I think there is space to do both of those projects if we decrease from the giant tub we have now to increase the shower space.)  Those are expensive projects, and something that we can continue kicking down the road.  

Carey is such a Johnny-on-the-spot fix-it guy, that I just didn't understand why he could not change the shower head.  I think it just confounded him, and it didn't bother him, so it wasn't a priority.

This week he undertook the job, and completed the change out in very short order.  The first time I took a shower, I left him my review (photo above).  I think he liked it, as he hasn't removed it from the shower door.  I always try to make sure he knows how much I appreciate all the tasks that he is able to do to save us paying someone to come  in and do it.  This particular fix deserved more than a verbal thanks.  I heard him laugh out loud when he saw the "2 thumbs up" rating at bottom left.  :)
