Hey a washer and dryer will be good for those that stay out and are far from home. Now the shower...John, see if you can get someone at TA to tell you where they get those great shower heads they have!! You install those, Ill shower at the yard before I go home!!! Those shower heads are great...I have asked at several TA's, but no one has been able to give me a name....LOL, I'd carry one of those and a small adjustable wrench to change the head at other places on a need to basis, and install one at home!!!!:D

And just think..some made fun ofme for admitting I carry around my own shower head and pliers for that reason..crappy shower heads with the water-saver in them..When I used to use the T/A, I rarely used them..But now, the Pilot showers require shower head changing.And my suction cup soap dish doesnt work well with the Pilot walls, their textured tile walls and all..Arent the T/A shower heads the same as that used by the holiday inn?

Not sure about the Holiday Inn thing but if anyone finds out let me know. The Kohler one I ordered showed a higher gallon per hour flow. I will return it if we can get the beloved "TA" shower head! LOL.

Day one they already removed everything in the room. I mean the drywall, the divider wall, the shower, the vanity, I mean everything is gone! Bare bones in 8 hours, two weeks to put back together, lol.

New shower will be a walk in tile shower. Much larger than the old one. The whole shower room is going to be a bit bigger. Should be really nice when it is done. Washer and dryer have been ordered and will be there free of charge for everyone. Need to make sure you guys have "he soap" (high efficiency) as it is a front loader. I will check if the vending machine people can put little boxes of it in the vending machines.

Ok, what are the thoughts on towels??? Do I get company towels or does everyone carry their own?

Well the exhaust fan will be a good one. I already covered that with my contractor. He does really nice work. We are putting a built in tile bench and a good solid clothes rack. Putting 4 sealed lights in the room. One in the shower, two outside of it, and one above the vanity. Should be nice and bright. The whole room will be tiled top to bottom. This should make it easy to keep nice and clean!

Hangers?

P.S. no I would not be washing the towels, lol. Probably my wife's dad. I am sure most of you have seen or met "dad" by now! He is the hardest working person at Load One!!!
