Improv shower head

Sometimes..ok..most times you have to make due with what you have either for time or budget restraints. Todays challenge was to create two shower heads for a :”wonky beach shower” First we took some plumbing hangers that normally go in a basement and hang from the ceiling and support hoses etc. We had used these before as faucets in the men’s room scene in HOW TO SUCCEED, this time to beef them up just a bit, we wired them together

then after scouring the shop for something the shape we wanted for the shower head itself, we settled on a Stryofoam coffee cup!

a quick coat of silver spray paint and, viola! ..instant, 30 foot rule shower heads!

What’s the lesson to learn here? Don’t let anything stand in the way of your mission as long as you have one bit of imagination left to use! and FYI, I was not responsible for the building of this, I left that to Harley, job well done!
