Well, thereis that British thing of attaching a hose and a shower head that sort of balance in a bracket (and have terrible pressure) but are usually hand-held. Hand held could lead to certain kinds of fun. :) I don't know if these fittings are period at all. Maybe Jim's dad could be experimenting with the concept ahead of time.

The Gladstone stories are all on AO3 under the Guitar Man series heading, but the stories are listed separately so I don't know if they'll download as a single story. I'm working on a new story for the series,which I think willprobably be the last one for a while, if you want to wait for that. Might be a week or so yet, though.
