I've just purchased two Hansgrohe showerheads, one from their regular line and one from their Axor line. They have a bunch that are contemporary styles which would go well with that faucet. Are you sure you don't want one showerhead to be a rainshower, though? It only needs to be about 6" down from the ceiling, so unless your husband is more than 7'2", it could work for him, along with a handheld on a bar you can adjust up and down. We purchased the Axor Downpour 10" rainshower head, which I think is beautiful in its simple, clean, polished lines, a Hansgrohe Raindance S 150 Air as the handshower, and the Unica S wallbar. -- Eric

Sjerin...I do agree there is a time and place for welfare, education, and healthcare (and others) assistance. (my MIL is currently is a state assisted home,) I know people that are very deserving that do all they can to avoid help and/or get themselves off as soon as possible. I also know a few that abuse that system and feel entitled simply because ??? Unfortunately I am related to both sides. I have a niece with a college education that refuses to get a job that is "beneath" her...on the flip side her cousin will work at anything he can find. He plows when it snows, makes sandwiches at a fast food joint and cuts and splits firewood in his down time to sell. She probably "makes" what he does, but he busts his hump and (through taxes) helps support her. I know there are many, many people that truly need help. I do not judge them at all - they have my empathy and my help. What I am concerned about is a generation that does not feel compelled to earn there own way simply because they believe the system will bail them out. The girl in the original post reminds me of my niece...content to keep taking a handout as long as someone is willing to give.

Not all waterproofing companies are created equal. We encourage people to thoroughly check the company's background before signing anything. And get estimates from more than one company. Here are some things that you should look for when getting an estimate: A trustworthy waterproofing company will not, and I repeat, will not: - Use questionable sales tactics (such as asking for a higher price and then give you an overly "generous" discount, but "only if you sign the contract right now". Beware of this type of company. Chances are that they know they will not be the contractor of choice, should you decide to get estimates from some of their competitors. - Misrepresent the urgency of the repairs to be performed or use scare tactics such as the "toxic mold" or "your basement is going to kill you" speech. A good contractor will be clear about the products and services you are purchasing and will propose solutions based on your budget and the things you want accomplished. You will know exactly what you are getting, why those products are necessary and what to expect as a result. You will be given a complete written proposal, detailing every product and service that will be performed, as well services that will need to be performed by other contractors at homeowner's expense (i.e. a dedicated circuit for dehumidifiers, pumps, etc...) When the salesperson leaves, you should be comfortable with every aspect of the deal. You will not be "sold" anything. You will feel as an educated consumer making an informed decision about your own waterproofing needs. You will also have a way to contact the salesperson at any time if you have any doubts. A trustworthy contractor will have an excellent reputation in the service area, excellent references from customers (ask for them and actually check), good BBB reputation. Good waterproofing companies are usually in business for many years or are backed up by a reputable network that will honor the warranty given in products and services over the years. Yes, such companies do exist. If the waterproofing company you are planning to hire didn't offer ALL of the above, you should really look further and get more estimates. In addition, if you did sign a contract that you feel that you were pushed into signing due to questionable sales tactics, the Federal Trade Commission issued the "Cooling-off rule", made into law in every state, which allows homeowners to change their minds when they purchase something from a salesperson outside the company's place of business. Designed to protect consumers from aggressive door-to-door sales tactics, the law gives you around 3 days to change your mind and cancel the deal, being entitled to a full refund and no penalties or cancellation fees

One thing that upsets me so much about our system is exactly what you say. It doesn't matter what the crime is - major or minor, they never are in for the time they are sentenced. Sentences sound like a long time but in actuality they are out in no time. Right now with the economy the way it is and jobs the way they are, at least they have a bed to sleep on and a full stomach and a lot of other luxeries. A lot of things that people who are doining everything right are having to sruggle for.
