Raise Your Shower Head in 5 Minutes

Step 4: Test it out

I recommend a dry run to test it out. "Dry" run since you will be testing with water, but you yourself will not be in the water. Turn on the shower. Make sure there are no drips or sprays or explosions. If everything seems okay, it probably is. This isn't rocket science. Take a shower if you want. Take two. No need to hang your head to get it wet, you can keep your chin up, high and proud, now that you raised your shower head.

An Adjustable "High/Low" shower arm works great: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100536010/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
With this a 6'7" beast can get their head pounded, as can a 5'0" lass.

Great details.

How about installing a hand-held shower? You can mount an additional bracket at any height you desire, and the hose makes shower-cleaning *much* easier.

Simply elegant!

Easy, simple fix for a frustrating problem. Never dreamed the hardware store would have such an animal, but it makes good sense. Thanks for sharing this.

I enjoyed the 'ible even more for the great writing style. Easy humor, plain language, clear description, excellent photos. Easy to see why you're a pro!

You got me hooked, wilgubeast! Keep 'em coming!
