Recently I started a thread called shower wars and posted a pic of my wife's fancy shower. We were arguing over the spare bath shower and I won HA!!! Yes that is a garden hose and a sprinkler, it goes directly to the on demand hot water heater which I set at the right temp before showering. Ten bucks for the shower stall at a garage sale, hose and sprinkler were extra, works for me.:) 003.JPG

I bet that shower will have a lot more force than a lot of shower heads you can buy.
 
When my husband and I built our house, there were many disagreements on how it should be done. We basically split things 50-50. I got certain rooms to do my way, and he did the others his way. He textured the walls and ceiling in his rooms, and I did in mine. I did my laundry and sewing room, and he did his workshop. Be glad that you have a wife to disagree with. I'd give a lot to still have my husband to be at odds with.
 
Actually it works GREAT! Lots of water and lots of pressure too. Much better than my wife's $150.00 rain shower head.

I'm a huge fan of recycling building materials, and would use that shower stall in a heartbeat. The garden hose? Umm, prolly not. I'm a middle-of-the-road-gal. :lol:

You can make your wife's rain shower work better.Many new shower heads have a flow restricted. Many of them can easily be removed.

I once made a hot tub out of a stand up swimming pool and a sears 3.5 hp outboard motor. Worked great. My wife was not enthusiastic. I guess it lacked a certain savoir faire. It did have a little oil here and there frothing around. But then, women generally add some kind of oil crap to the water anyway, so what's a little straight 30 weight in the mix? I negotiated a settlement in the fall that year just to avoid a heinous Hot Tub War. Besides, I needed the motor for fishing.
 

A couple of years ago, I discovered that the restrictors were present in my own shower, and I had wondered why the water volume always seems so low, when in the rest of the house it's just fine. Easiest fix I've ever seen, and saved me a bunch on buying a new faucet or calling out a plumber to check things out.

Where in the hell did you find a 3.5 hp? :lol:

It was an old - ancient really, Sears painted OD green. Ran great. I bought it at a yard sale to benefit the Boy Scouts. Gave it to a friend when I got a new one. It's still running just as good as ever, according to the last report.

Those old outboard motors are pretty cool, and I know of a few personally that are still running after being 50 or 60 years old, with good maintenance and occasional repairs.

This was, or probably still is, a very cool engine. I have had more than few small horsepower outboard engines for my for my dingy and small fishing boats. I used to sail a lot.
