Rain, Rain, Come Again

Last week I purchased this Moen® Refresh™ Combination Shower. This photo is deceiving. The showerhead is larger than my face - and I have chubby cheeks.

Description: Moen®'s Refresh™ combination rain shower and handheld shower includes seven unique settings to choose from…offering the ultimate showering experience. It's easy to install and fits all standard shower arms. Simply remove your existing showerhead, tighten the 3-way diverter to your shower arm, hand tighten on the rain shower to the front outlet of the diverter and then hand tighten the handheld shower hose to the bottom of the diverter and then the handheld shower. The 3-way diverter allows you to toggle between using just the rain shower, only the handheld or both simultaneously.

Specifications: Spot Resist™ brushed nickel finish resists fingerprints and water spots. Combination rain shower and 7-setting handheld shower. Use just the rain shower, only the handheld or both simultaneously using 3-way diverter. Includes 60" hose. Easy to install and fits all standard shower arms.

My dad hasn't installed it yet. As the description says, it should be easy. The only thing is, my dad won't be able to change the arm of the shower, which happens to be brass. He says I'll need to hire a plumber to replace that (along with the matching brass tub faucet and handle). And I'll need to knock down the "access" wall to the shower/tub's plumbing - as it is plastered shut. Sigh. A homeowner's job is never easy.
