It looks pretty cool but Im finding that to be its only redeeming quality.<br> <br> Do you have one? Where did you find a shower curtain wide enough for it? I cant seem to find a way to shower without soaking the bathroom floor.<br> <br> How do you store your soap/bathy things? Do you know of a useful storage caddy that will work for this type of tub? Should I just get used to this thing being a pain in the neck?<br> <br> Any tips/anecdotes are helpful. Thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.94257 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 15:40:22 -0800 bathroom bathtub claw clawfoot foot shower ElmerFishpaw http://ask.metafilter.com/48768/My%2Dwonderful%2Dtub%2Dmakes%2Da%2Dterrible%2Dshower How can I fix my clawfoot-forced-shower's complete lack of water pressure? I live in a Victorian flat/condo that was just recently renovated, and bathroom aside, it is wonderful. But come 6:45am as I blindly stumble into the bathroom I am greeted with the most paltry of water pressure. Water still gushes from the facet and I have to spend a majority of the shower bent over holding the tub to shower lever to get anything more than a drizzle out of the showerhead. The landlord said that since the shower was installed on an old tub that I should expect less water pressure, but this is practically washing myself with a water fountain. <br> <br> After the initial wallet shock of moving, I am trying and hoping to do this repair on the cheap. I am not opposed to a handheld mount, I would just rather save as much money as possible, so if I could just use what I currently have and maybe putty/stucco or add some type of washer or nuts and bolts to fix it, that would be top notch. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48768 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 06:50:01 -0800 clawfoot pressure shower tub water banannafish
