Tiggy Has A Shower

How to have a shower:
On Sunday: Notice that the shower head seems to be coming apart. Notice that no amount of turning or squeezing seems to change this. Leave it and shower.
Today: Notice that the shower head has come apart further. Ignore this. Turn the shower off when it sprays water out the top and onto the ceiling. Turn shower head a bit more until it comes apart. Notice that it's held in by a screw which is not accessible from the other side. Fetch multi-tool and set of mini screwdrivers. Commence much poking and prying, which only seems to make extra holes and not give access to the screw head. Decide that making holes is the only option. Drill through front of shower head with knife. Reassemble shower head. Shower.

So now there's a small leak from one of the failed crowbar attempts, and a larger leak in the middle. It's a bit like the other nozzles, except it's not nozzle-shaped (drilled with a knife, remember?) so it tends to spray water at a randomish angle, and it reduces the water pressure noticably (shown by plugging it with a thumb) but not enough to be a big deal.

The landlord might mind, but it's better than spraying water on the ceiling, and it was falling apart anyway.
