What's Behind Door One

There are so many things Steve said he would never do again.  The first was hanging a suspended ceiling.  If you go further into this blog you'll see that he just could not help himself and put up another ceiling which was just a dog.  We bought plastic sections which we thought would snap together with little if any problems.  I think he still has the scars from trying to snap hundreds of pieces together. The second one was that he never wanted to install another shower door. 

Steve installed a shower door at out other house on Theodore Street and vowed he'd never do it again.  He really was trying to get me to agree to a shower curtain but I was not going to budge on that.  Putting a shower curtain over a shower stall would be like putting a sheet over your living room window and I just didn't want a living room window in our bathroom.   The problem that Steve has with installing a shower door is really not the installation itself but the stupidity of the designer.  The door frame has 90 degree angles but the bottom corner of the shower stall is curved.  Now I was no brain with geometry but I know that a 90 degree corner would not fit into a round hole.  After reading the directions, which we kind of do depending on the project, really helped us this time.  It really turned out nicely.  There are two questions remain unanswered, first, is there really water to the shower and second, will the door leak.   Stay tuned.  If anyone ever uses that shower we will certainly post it.  Please remember, when Steve and I put the new valves onto the sink connections and were so happy that we didn't have any water leaking we were thrilled.  Come to find out, the supply lines were not connected to anything hence there not being any water when we cut off the supply pipes.  We were so proud of ourselves.  The next plumbing issue will occur when we attempt to install a bar sink and glass washer.  Sooner or later the floor drain in our basement is going to come in handy.  This reminds me of the Lucy Show episode where they install a shower door backward and the drain is stuck closed.  Sooner than later we will end up soaked and or floating in the water.
