Thanks so much for the info! We have a his/hers situation which we love, and that is "his" bathroom, I know he would dig any fixtures that might help with more pressure in the shower. It's really a silly shower, the bathroom is built into an area where the ceiling slopes (bungalow), and the shower ceiling is low and tiled, also sort of follows the slope of the roof. Very weird, but I guess better than no shower up there, and the only way to improve that I'm assuming is to bust out the roof and do a bona fide addition. (You can see why I'm not inclined to spend money re-doing this awkward space without a real expansion.) Our inspector did mention he didn't know why they didn't expand into the crawl space for a tub, but you'd pretty much have to crawl into it at that ceiling height.

As to the DIY aspect.... oh lordy! That's funny. Trust me, not gonna happen, but that would make for a good comedy episode. His solution to where he thought the leaking might be was duct tape. And I am not much better, I can work with small hand tools (metalsmith), but that's about it. I do think I could learn, though, if I had time, and if there were a skilled person helping me who'd be willing to teach. Too bad I don't know anyone. Hey, where do you live... ? lol!

Thanks again.
