Yes you can use the wig holder. Just make a hole in the bottom of the styrofoam head for the top of the totem. You won't be able to save the head. Cut off the leg of a panty hose and pull over the head or wrap the head with gauze. This is just to give the hypertufa something to stick it. Lay the head down on a piece of plastic in a sand tub. Work on one side at a time and put on one thin layer. Cover the whole tub with plastic and let the head setup a little before starting on another section. Once you get one thin layer on all the way around; you can put a second thin layer on. You can do this over several days if you have to. I've also made a runny hypertufa mix and "dunked" the head. Kind of like dipping candles. The way the weather is now in Pennsy, you could work outside! Billie

Hi everyone. Poohbear - Your pictures and description indicate a lot of similarities to a plant I have growing in my garden which is called Aechmea blanchetiana. Although your flowers seem to be more spaced on the inflorescence than those on mine, this may just be a variation between plants as there are many different forms of blanchetiana which come in several different leaf colours ranging from green through yellow, gold, orange and orange/red. It is probably the most widely grown of the larger type Aechmeas and makes a good feature in a garden and once established will continue to produce pups which can be removed to start new plants or left and allowed to form into a large specimen clump. Aechmea blanchetiana All the best, Nev.

Called “saddle style”. plug that into google and you will find lots from which to choose.

Hand held and rain head is enough….you do not need a third head. We also have body sprays, but that’s a different discussion. I have not used a rain shower head, but many do not like them for normal showering. I’ll let others chime in as to why. I have two heads (hand held and a regular head on the wall) and I had them position the hand held so I can use it as a regular shower head if I choose (I’m 5’2”). It’s very convenient when I want the water to spray very close to my head without having to hold the wand. The regular wall head was installed up high enough for my husband (he’s 6’3”). So the bar and all the other fixtures are positioned specifically for our needs. It’s important to get in the shower while it’s still under construction and stand there to see what will work for you and others who will be using the shower. I made sure to mark up the studs for our plumbers in order to get the correct heights for everything (be sure to account for the height of your shower pan and tile). And make sure the handheld is positioned so that it can reach the entire shower for cleaning. I went to a showroom where they had all the heads and handhelds on display AND operational. I wanted to find the ones wth the greatest water pressure, and there was a big difference between them as far as pressure goes. It’s always helpful to be able to try them out so there are no unhappy surprises after install. Also, they make recessed cans with fans in them which is actually a regular recessed can that has the fan up inside it…so you won’t see any fan installed, you’ll just see the can light. These special cans can be hooked up on independent switches so that the fan and can are able to run independently of one another (so you can have the fan on without the can lit or can have the can lit without the fan running). We have 3 cans in our shower and it’s PLENTY bright (and I like light!). Here is our shower with the cans marked in yellow. Obviously a different configuration than yours, but this gives you an idea of the space and how it’s lighted. I think 4 would be overkill in your scenario.
