Duct Tape To The Rescue

-
duct tape can fix any thing ! ............ well it cant fix a dumb *** but it can muffle the sound haha
 
The reason the shower head was originally mounted so low is because the room is set up to be "handicapped accessible" as evidenced by the number of grab bars in the shower. I'm pretty sure there were also grab bars behind and along side the commode, too. Right?

Usually counters are lower, and there is no cabinet under the sink so a wheel chair can be pulled up close to it.
 
When I stay at a hotel I hang the do not disturb sigh out on my door I don't want anyone
in my room while I am gone..... 1 inch of duck tape rolled inside out and placed in the door jam will let me know if anyone has entered :glasses7: it will roll as I shut it but when I open the door
for a test it will roll and un stick on one side, If I come back and the small rolled up duck tape has been rolled once already and some times even on the floor I know someone has entered.. :D

Mike, leave the TV on when you leave the room. It will sound as if the room is occupied. I always leave it on something like ESPN.

I do to ocdart, Treva and I stayed in Morelton Arkansas when we went to Petit Jean MT, Tv was on espnII and the sign was on the door we came back from the MT. and my duck tape was moved above the door nob :evil:
I went to the front desk and asked why the H E double hockey sticks did some one enter my room :violent1: They said did I have the sign on the door :banghead: DA!!! Yes sir I did and someone entered!! and nothing was dun so why did someone enter my room!! He said he can look and see the last time my room was entered on the computer (I did not buy that) ... he asked is anything missing and I said no, but you need to find out who did!! I was at a supper 8. I still need to do something about it, I bet some one was caught and glad I was there just to load up my things I bout on the mountain and leave before check out time at 11 am.. A game cam on the wall would be a good investment...

Yes it did....I'm sure glad we brought duct tape along. Didn't think I'd need it for the hotel shower though. I was thinking more along the lines of emergency car repairs ROFL

Yes Frankie, I understand the room was handicapped accessible, but I've never seen a shower setup like that before @ a hotel. Why didn't they leave the showerhead at normal height with the removeable wand for people over 3' tall to take a shower.....:toothy10:

I'm just really glad we figured out a way to make it work. There's 1000 uses for duct tape.....now 1001 LOL

That's a good idea Mike if you don't want the staff in your room........Me, I just put a few things out of sight & let them freshen' it up. I've never had an issue with items being stolen though.

Because of Sues disabilities I request a handicap room when I make reservations or check in.

Have never seen one set up like that. Most are on slide bar adjustable for someone sitting or standing.

RANI you would think someone height challenged would figure out to reach things too high .............. LOL seen little girl get a chair to climb on the counter so she could open cabinet to get cereal out for breakfast

A couple years ago, someone at a hotel in Mobile swiped my sunglasses...I didn't realize it right away, because they left the (empty) case on the dresser when they did. They are no use to whoever stole them...but I'm out about $250. (They are prescription sunglasses.)

well the tub area was wet and hard to get a solid footing to climb up and I didn't want to risk falling down...at home I would have but a hotel is not my idea of a good place to get hurt. plus they should have addressed the problem themselves .......I mean that shower head was ridiculously high.
