Hmmm. Why didn't I think of that. I would have never thought of using the shower head as a cable hanger. That's a lot easier than the way I would have done it.

Honestly I swear to god she looked at me like I was an idiot when I said "you're going to kill yourself". Oh but its ok, it was used to power a television in the livingroom. Hopefully this isn't a deal killer... Do you think it was there when they had an open house last weekend?

The orange extension cord is too short. Recommend replacing with a longer cord....

Classic stuff...
