Depends on where you slept or showered?? Texas has been around for a long time and people have grown taller and taller as time goes on. For example, my house was built in the 50s as such the shower head was at 5 1/2 ft but that's because people weren't as tall back in the day. I had to get the showers rebuilt so now our shower heads is at 7 ft....much better. I have a hard time with those "old time" shower head heights also. Almost every older building has shower heads that are too low for modern folks who are taller. Treblig
