The other day I blogged about how removing a broken hot water tank led to an escalating problem, resulting in me having to replace the floor and having to totally renovate our bathroom. One of the things I had to do in that renovation was replace the old shower stall. That was a bit of a problem because our bathroom was very small and the normal sized stalls that were available didn’t fit, but luckily we eventually did find a small one, which I installed.
Every time I think of molded shower stalls I remember a story that my neighbor Kjell told me. At one point, he too had to buy a new shower stall. He shopped around in the hardware store and selected the model on the show floor that he wanted. He paid and was told to drive over to the loading bay to pick it up.
When he got there, a young kid employee came out and asked Kjell if he could help him load it. Kjell followed him back into the warehouse, and the guy pointed to a bundle all wrapped up in shrink wrap, and told Kjell it was heavy.
The two of them managed to pick up the wrapped bundle and headed to Kjell’s vehicle. Kjell couldn’t get over how heavy the shower stall was. It seemed a whole lot heavier than he expected.
Before putting it into the back of his pickup, Kjell decided to check it, because it was so heavy. When he tore through all of the shrink wrap, he found out; the shower stall was actually three molded shower stalls, all tightly squeezed together for shipping.
Being an honest person and not needing three shower stalls, they removed all of the shrink wrap and Kjell loaded just one shower stall into his truck.
