Shower caddy
Me? I don't even know what one actually is, are we talking a kind of concave
piece of metal with holes in to put soap and other consumables into in a shower? I've never heard them called caddies before. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Lonely Auto-contradicting Psychotic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert! LOL

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Tim Lamb wrote Any source recommendations? Stainless seem unaffordable. Not convinced about that. I'm utterly convinced that you are a clinically insane sociopathic cretin, senile Rodent! BTW, his problem was already solved, so why did you even have to open your senile gob? -- Marland answering senile Rodent's statement, "I don't leak": "That¢s because so much **** and ****e emanates from your gob that there is nothing left to exit normally, your arsehole has clammed shut through disuse and the end of prick is only clear because you are such a ******."

(DAMHIK) That sounds similar. Two trays and vertical rails with hooks at the bottom. Yup, this is one of the ones I used: http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...ShowerBath.jpg I take it the tray goes further into the corner without the rails. I'll be careful. Thanks. Indeed. If you use the tray to space the rails from the wall then the spacing matches the tray - however if you mount the rails against the wall, then you get the ~4mm offset from the thickness of the rails. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
