So ok.  Next step in the master shower saga"  Stop...plumber time.  Different than Hammer.

As you?ll remember last we left off in the story, everything was finally out, time to rebuild.

If you remember too, we had that cheap a** cheeseball shower tower panel* whoo-ha-ma-jig.  ?I?ve always thought that thing was dumb, get rid of it,? said my beloved.  Ok, no problem.

But ah ha, removing it and replacing it with something nice and attractive and normal meant new plumbing for the handle and shower head though.

Because after learning how to remove the dopey tacky whoo-ha (merely lift up) I discovered there?s no mixer valve, just hoses and no plumbing up.

That's it, that's all the plumbing there is for a shower panel.  Which is way different than plumbing for a showerhead and handle.  The other plumbing is for the other side.After a ridiculously long search as usual, I found this Glacier Bay Marx* set up on crazy sale.  Affordable, has shut-off?s right in the fixture (brilliant, why don?t they all"!"!), it?s attractive, it?s Mike-approved.  Done and done.
Hot tip:  I learned that shower parts most often don't come with The Most Important Part, the mixer valve.  So fyi, when you?re shopping for new shower parts, be mindful of the mixer valve inclusion; if it?s not, expect to pay $50-$100+ additional.

The mixer valve, by the way, is the critical part directly behind the faucet handle.  It's the wate...
