Every time I get in the shower I am grateful for plumbers, especially North American plumbers. Perhaps it is because I did not grow up with showers. We used the bathtub to get clean. My generation must be the last people who lived without showers, at least in North America.. They never knew the joy of washing hair in the tub and putting their head under the running water. But now when I shower, the water is always warm and the water pressure is adequate. Now another requirement is hand holds. Ken and I will not stay in a motel room that does not have safety bars in the shower.
The first time we visited Ireland when Andrew's soccer team toured and competed at tournaments, we stayed with the families who were hosting the team. Our visit was splendid but we came home wishing that good North American plumbers would move to Ireland and fix their plumbing, which was primitive. The next time we were there ten years later, all plumbing problems had ended.
When we moved into our Mississippi home, no shower worked well. Wendy's shower did not function at all so she used our shower once, but the taps barely worked and the water pressure was so weak you had trouble rinsing your hair. But the plumbers came and after two days, our problems were over. Now Ken and I have the pleasure of using our perfect shower. And we are grateful.
