...Shower chairs can come in many different shapes and sizes. Shower chairs are very lightweight and can be maneuvered easily. Some chairs come with a back to the chair and side arms that can be taken off easily, while others do not come with a back on the chair. All most all chairs have drain holes in the seat portion of the chair, this allows for the person sitting in the chair not to be sitting in a puddle of water. The chair is made out of hard plastic and has aluminum legs. This makes the chair light weight but sturdy as well. Not all chairs are made out of plastic; some can be made out of teak wood, which is able to retain moisture. Shower chairs can be adjusted to fit into your shower or tub. The legs can be extended or shortened depending on how to need to set up your chair. The most weight that a shower chair can hold is up to 300 lbs....

... GS1140 Installing Copper Pipes Problem: Install copper pipes for a new bathroom to run water to the toilette, sink and shower. 1. Prior to building the bathroom make sure that there is adequate accessibility to run copper pipes to the area where the bathroom will be located. 2. After bathroom is built and the configuration of toilette, sink and shower is complete make either a mental or written pattern of how you will connect the pipes. Remember you have hot and cold water. The sink and shower need both while the toilette needs only cold water. 3. Measure distances between toilette, shower and sink to have a general idea of how much copper pipe you will require. Always get about 10 feet extra just in case of a bad measurement or an adjustment in plan. 4. Drill 3 holes in wall near the toilette and sink to accommodate the shut-off valves: toilette gets 1 and sink gets 2. 5. Attach shut-off valves to 9 inch copper pipe segments and install so that valves are inside bathroom and other end is in the crawl space. 6. Attach copper pipe segments to shower on/off fixture so that the ends are in crawl space. 7. Measure copper pipe so that each segment connects with the corresponding hot or cold water shower on/off fixture or shut off valve. Make sure the ends of the pipe segments are clean with a shine. Use fine grained sand paper. Dry fit these segments only. (Dry fit means that no flux or solder has...

...Short Story Every morning I wake up to the normal sun shooting through the window, blinding me as I try to open my eyes. My dog, Percy, licking my face off. He insists that every morning at exactly 7:04, she has to go outside. It really is starting to annoy me. Can’t that damn dog just rest? After I go outside for exactly 3 minutes, I realise I have to deal with my boss in exactly 48 minutes. I sit and moan for two minutes. Any more I would be late and any less I would be early: it has to be exactly two minutes. Afterward, I do my normal six-minute shower, I take another 6 minutes to brush my hair, 4 minutes to brush – just like the dentist told me – and five minutes to figure out what I am going to wear today. That leaves me 4 minutes to sit and read The Daily Telegraph and moan about having to drive 20 minutes to a job that I can’t stand. Once I arrive, it takes 2 minutes to hear the lame story about what Ron, the guy two cubicles down, did last night and four minutes ’til I get to hear my boss complain that I never do anything right. Spending 9 and a half hours at my job, driving 26 minutes home, taking two minutes to take Percy out and only getting 25 minutes to myself before lying down in my hard, cold bed and not falling asleep for another 12 minutes can really drive someone crazy. At least that is what my therapist tells me. But it doesn’t make me crazy; it makes everyone else crazy for not wanting to know how much time they actually have. The thing that...

...Market Sometimes a sanctuary, sometimes a spa and at other times purely functional – a bathroom is the perfect place to unwind, a refuge from the daily grind. Increasingly over the past fifteen years, Indians have begun to look at bathrooms as decompressing zones that also make a lifestyle statement. The demand for bathrooms that combine convenience with functionality and marry luxury with technology is rapidly increasing. Builders and homeowners alike are now realising that a bathroom with a built-in wow factor enhances not only the desirability but also the value of a property. But amazingly, even as late as the 1990s, the bath fittings market was dominated by small manufacturers who focused on functional entry-level products, paying scant regard to design, aesthetics or quality. With the shift in market focus, several players joined the race, slowly pushing out of reckoning manufacturers in the unorganised sector. Such has been the leap in both quality and aesthetics that the organised segment now controls more than 50% of the Rs. 1800 crore (US$ 375 million) market by value year, no-questionsasked warranty, plus after-sales-service at the customer’s doorstep. It was also the first company to introduce four-colour packaging for bathfittings. These not only helped ensure product differentiation, they also reinforced its brand identity. Jaquar Orientation Centres are marketing innovations that provide the consumer (Source: Business Line...

...discussed my process in the beginning, I found that the process could take me over an hour if I did not figure out ways to do thing more time effective and with better planning. There are also occurrences that I can not control that could also cause my morning to be frustrating and time consuming making me late for work and other problems as mentioned above. During week, one I noticed there were processes that were taking more time than needed the directed affected my time usage in the morning like showering in the morning. We have four people in our home who get up within 10 minutes of each and each one of us needs to get into the bathroom to shower, brush our teeth and prepare for the day. I feel if everyone was willing to shower in the evening that would shave at least 15 to 20 minutes off of our time, because I shower in the evening then I can wash up quickly in the morning and get dressed as well as my son. I found that another process that I could control is it takes me at least 10 to 15 minutes to fix lunches for my husband, my son, and I in the morning for lunch. I have found that if I fix our lunches at night that would save me more time in the morning to focus on getting my son ready for school. My son is responsible for taking the dogs out for their morning walk and bathroom break as well as feeding them this process can often take thirty...

...unknown how long he had been there. Officers responded and found the victim, later identified as Travis Alexander, deceased lying naked in the shower. It was unknown how long Travis had been deceased, but his body was well into the decomposition process. Officers also found large amounts of blood throughout the master bathroom floors, walls, and sink area. The initial injury detected by officers, was a large laceration to Travis' throat, which appeared to be from ear to ear. The friends of the victim told officers, that Travis was scheduled to go on a trip to Cancun, Mexico on Tuesday the 10th of June. Marie Fall said she was going to Mexico with Travis, but she had not been able to get a hold of him over the phone since the week of June 1st. While in the house, they contacted Travis' roommate, Zachary Billings and asked if he had seen Travis. Zachary told them he thought Travis had gone to Mexico and hadn't seen him in several days. They checked Travis' bedroom door and found it locked. They were able to find a key to the bedroom door and opened it only to discover what happened to be blood on the carpet leading into the master bathroom. They also discovered large amounts of dried blood throughout the bathroom floor and walls. After a closer look in the bathroom, they found a body of a deceased male sitting in the shower with the door open. Detectives from the Mesa Police Homicide Unit responded to investigate and confirmed that Travis was the victim of homicide...

...Turbo Shower Grace Porter Rasmussen College This essay is being submitted on September 14, 2015 for Grace Porter’s Intro to Business course. Product Design and Development The Turbo Shower system is the first of its kind. This kind of shower has not been seen before in the market. It offers something totally unique with no direct competition. No company has been ambitious enough to integrate so much into a device that has remained virtually the same for decades. Our developers decided to take a chance and tap into a new and exciting market. Our risk paid off greatly. There is no direct competition for the turbo shower system at this time, but there is secondary competition, such as other basic shower units. Physical Features The turbo shower will contain a full LCD HD screen. The screen would vary in size from 40 inches up to 70 inches. It would contain a special screen which would resist water from beading on the screen as well as fogging from the temperature of the water in the shower itself. We would get the LCD HD screens from Sony. The Turbo Shower would contain multiple showers nozzles from almost all angles, allowing the water to truly envelope you if you want that in the showering experience. Also on all the nozzles there would be LED lights that can project ambient mood lighting while taking a shower. Emotional Benefits Turbo Shower would also include basic software. This is for voice recognition, and personal preferences for each shower user, and basic...

Introduction Attention grabber: I would like to start my speech today by sharing a story with you guys about one of my dogs. Last February was the first time I had ever bought a dog that I could call my very own. I was so excited to have my new puppy, but what I did not realize was the work that came along with a new puppy. My new puppy loved to find every mud puddle to roll in and every dirt hole to dig in so my puppy was never clean! The very first time I gave him a bath, I had no idea what I was doing. There was water going everywhere, my clothes were soaked, and the puppy was not happy! Therefore, I want to keep you all from making the same mistake that I did. Purpose statement: So, today I will demonstrate how to bathe your dog properly. Gain for audience: There are a few reasons why you should bathe your own dog. First, bathing your own dog will save you money, allow you to develop a stronger bond with your furry friend, and reduce your dog’s stress.

...Aqualisa Quartz Subject: How to best market the new Aqualisa Quartz line of showers Problem: Aqualisa has created a superior new shower line that seems to be perfect for the needs of customers but the sales are far below expectations. Customers do not have brand awareness of Aqualisa, plumbers are wary of innovation and salesmen are unsure of how to positively market a product without negatively reflecting on other products in their company. Background of the situation: In the United Kingdom only about 60% of homes have showers due to the unique issues of bathroom remodels in Victorian era homes. Homes with plumbing from this period are gravity fed, with a separate boiler; this meant poor water pressure and temperature fluctuations. Three types of shower solutions were installed in UK bathrooms. * Electric Showers use water from cold water supply. Electrical heating elements in the shower raise the temperature of the water. This type of shower did not address the flow problem. These are a budget solution and very bulky. * Mixer Shower valves; either Manual or Thermostatic. Both mix hot and cold water to create the desired temperature of the water; these require a lot of excavation of the wall during the installation. To help the water pressure additional booster pump was used. These are a high end, attractive, but costly solution. * Integral power showers are compact with thermostatic mixer valve and a booster pump. They require mounting of a box in the wall...

...Everywhere? 2. A. 216.2 gallons per day B. My average daily water usage extremely exceeds the average of 95 gallons. In fact, my average of 216.2 gallons more than DOUBLES the average water use per person in the United States. C. 216.2 x 20 = 4324 gallons per day D. This amount is not at all what I expected. I’m taken back by the amount of water I both directly and indirectly use. 3. For me personally, I think there is a lot of things I can do to conserve water. The two days I spent recording my water usage really opened my eyes to a lot of different things. For example, I realized that in that two day span I used roughly 200 gallons of water just by taking showers! Due to this, I have already went and purchased a new shower faucet similar to the one discussed in class. I need to decrease the amount of time I spend in the shower and turn off the water when I’m applying soap and shampoo. Another thing I think I need to change is the amount of times I do laundry. I never realized the amount of water that goes into laundry. I can easily double and triple wear clothing and maybe even hand wash shirts and lighter clothing like that. One last thing I can do to conserve water is to get a bin for my dishes so I can use less amount of water to wash more dishes. All in all, this assignment has opened my eyes to how much excess water I waste on a daily basis. What even more troubling is that the 216.2 gallons I use per day is just ME, that doesn’t include my two roommates. I believe if I would’ve...

...vacations. We set schedules, make reservations and become slaves to them. I started wishing I were Samoan. Many folks stay home and celebrate Christmas with family and friends, but not me. I am a bachelor who likes to take every opportunity to go places and see new things. I have no family except two sisters – one 500 miles away and the other 3000 miles away. I had a month off from work, and I certainly wasn’t going to waste it hanging around the house and watching myself grow old. I had packed the previous day and partied the previous night, so my things were ready but I was not. It is difficult to overcome the urge to stay in bed and say the heck with plans. I’m not sure why I didn’t. I made my unsteady way into the bathroom where a hot shower put me in a better frame of mind. An hour later my dog Nina and I were in my truck and headed for the stable to get my horse and trailer. Nina and my horse are my immediate family, so I like to take them with me on vacation whenever possible. At the stable a colleague of mine, Pam, was visiting my horse BJ. She watched as I quickly hooked up my trailer and loaded BJ. I made a hasty but polite departure and headed on the first leg of my journey, which was to my sister in Ohio – a 500-mile drive from my home in Eastern Pennsylvania. I had only gone about two miles when I suddenly realized that I had left my wallet and money at home on my dresser. Home was 25-minutes in the wrong...

...The sun inched through the green and ivory curtains and unmasked the layers of dust that floated around the room. It seemed like so many years ago. It was sometime in the summer between the hot months of June and July; the last day of a weeks vacation. I sit, peeling an orange with a knife, so as not to break my just painted red-satin nails, feet propped up on the table, un-shoed and sock-less. I notice the lime-green smoothie mixer that came complimentary with the hotel room. I guess that it had to be from Target and remember that I need to buy a new razor and shampoo and conditioner before we leave. Oh and soap. Definitely need more soap. I didn’t even want to think about soap right now. I want to go now but know that I really shouldn’t leave Katelyn alone despite everything. She is sleeping, I like to remember her that way that morning, sleeping like that. I try never to forget her curls and her eyelashes as I watch her sleeping on the bed; her round Jackie Kennedy sunglasses and my Audrey Hepburn heels that were thrown off the bed from the night before. I want to remember her this way. Before she goes back to her life. Her life without me. Her married life. Her life that began again last night. I try to remember her this way. The moon had deepened the curtains a olive purple as the street lamps lit the way home for the late night drunks. “I knew you wouldn’t stay Katelyn…” I told her, my tears mixed with my black...

...I wake up one morning and let my fuzzy vision clear up and turn my head towards the tiny black clock, resting on my night stand. The dim red numbers glow 10:30. Late again. I hop out of bed and fly to the bathroom. If I breeze through my daily routine, I could be out of the house in 15 minutes. First things first, drain the weasel. When I got to the toilet I thought I had to pee but something was knocking on the back door. So I pulled my pants all the way down and let nature take it's course. As I near the end I glance to the right and there's no toilet paper... Well, nothing I can't fix in the shower. I fling my clothes to the floor and fly in the shower. Letting my skin get nice and wet, I reach over for the soap and it looks like a wet hamster on a sunny day. How did all of this hair get there? I really don’t have time to pick this off, so a quick rinse was order. I turn the water off and head for the medicine cabinet, brush my teeth and fly back to my room like a ninja on caffeine, get dressed, and as I'm running for the door, I stub my toe on the threshold and fall face first into the stone wall in front of my door. I recollected myself with the throbbing pain on my face mocking me along the way. I hop in the car and begin to drive off. I hit the end of the block and the car shuts off. This can't be happening... I have to be at work in 10 minutes and it's a 40 minute drive without traffic. A man walks by and I run to him desperately not caring if he knew about cars or not...
