Threshold, Toilet Paper Holder, Shower Head

Now we're getting down to the easy cosmetic stuff. Mom and Dad bought us the toilet paper holder for Christmas.


They also got us the Shower head. This was scary to attach because I had to attach the pipe feeding the shower head. If the pipe leaks where it connects to the elbow in the wall, it will be difficult to detect. The other complication is that the thing basically screws on. Sounds easy, right? Well, it has to screw on such that it aims down on the final tightening. This proved very tricky so I wrapped the threads about 6 times with thread tape and applied a little rector seal for some extra piece of mind. I have a plan to check for leaks from a small access point behind this wall...

This is the fourth threshold I've added in this house and each gets easier. I buy the oak threshold from the flooring section at Lowes, router out any necessary areas on the bottom, cut to length, apply stain and polyurethane to match the adjacent oak floor and countersink four screws. This one is rock solid and except for all the dog hair in this photo, looks fairly good IMHO.
