Installed a hand shower.

This has taken longer than you’d think - a decade, actually - mostly because I didn’t care much, then because Sunshine, the company that made the original vintage-appearing reproduction restoration-intended fixtures, went out of business and you can’t have non-matching pieces of course, then I found The Sink Factory in Berkeley reintroduced Sunshine plumbing fixtures and sells everything needed to add a hand shower, then because said kit costs $500 and I didn’t care that much for sure.

Finally, my wife broke her g—d—med ankle and needs to be able to sit in a shower chair and use the g—d—med hand shower she has been asking for nicely for longer than this g—d—med marriage is going to last if she doesn’t get it!!!

Suddenly $500 seemed perfectly reasonable - cheap, even! - and I got the kit in the mail yesterday and installed it today. Took 20 minutes because some of the threaded joints were sealed with, is that a curing putty?, so needed propane torch time. I used Teflon tape.
