  • How to Hook your Garden Hose to your Shower Head / This is what you need! We had an at home birth and needed to fill the birthing tub up with warm water so in this video I show you exactly how to hook up a garden hose to a shower head. This is also great for giving your dog a bath!

    Oh My Gooooooooood! My wife is having a homebirth any day now. We had the hose, and I decided to do a test run, and the hose didn’t fit my shower! You are a life saver man! Thank you!

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I am now able to shower my mom on her bed! My mom is bedridden and can’t move on her own, so it’s impossible to put her inside the shower. Oh thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! You have no idea how much this has helped us. Thank you!!! God bless you and your family!

    Thanks so much for this video! What I plan on doing is hooking a 10-20 ft garden hose to my shower head, and then attach a nice garden type spray handle on the end of it. Then, when it snows or ices over this winter, I'll be able to just open up my bathroom window (no screen) and use that hose to spray LUKE WARM WATER (never use "hot water", as "they" say it can crack the glass etc.) onto my vehicle. I will use really HOT WATER on the walkway leading up to and around my vehicle. That way all the snow and ice will be melted away and be a perfectly clean when I go out there this winter!! Then I'll be able to easily throw down salt to keep it from refreezing. Ingenius eh? LOL!

      Wow. super idea. I once left open a window on my Audi and it rained in. The results were yucky'
      water mixed with oil. Don't know how this happened. My sweetheart fixed the problem with a rubber hose where he sucked out the dirty water. Yucko. So that we do not indanger his health. I will use the Handyman Journey solution info on How to install a Garden Hose to your Shower video. Wow again.

    Perfect, just what I was looking for. Hard to believe that I used to be a plumber (60 years ago - briefly) but have forgotten a lot. I bought a steam cleaner to magically clean out the black mold in my bathroom shower stall. They aren't magical no matter what the commercials show. Steam will loosen the mold and water deposits but you've got to do some scrubbing, too. What I needed was to be able to rinse what I had scrubbed loose and my shower head just didn't have the swivel capacity to direct the water where I wanted it. NOW, thanks to you, I can hook up a garden hose and put a spray gun on it. Thanks again.

    This brought back memories of my waterbed days. I hooked the hose up to the bathroom sink faucet. It just screwed right in. When draining the bed I connected the hose to the bed and ran it to the bathtub. Some people run it out a window.

    New subscriber here. Thanks for the tip. We were dripping water in our garage apartment shower and it leaked out on the floor and onto the outside berm. So to fix that I am planning on hooking up a hose to the shower head to drip that section of water pipe that is most vulnerable to freeze. The other end of the hose will be stuffed into the drain. Thanks again for your video. I see I am 5 years behind, but it is timely for me right now. All the best!

    I think this will be the perfect solution.

    I live in Burbank CA, in an apartment on the 2nd floor, that gets the sun from 1pm till 7p. In summer it gets super hot. I bought a 6'x30" inflatable circular pool to use in my living room as a couch, basically. I get home about 3pm and try to sleep by 8pm. I HAVE TO use the AC to sleep, but I figure I can just watch my 100" projector display sitting in the pool for 2-3 hours and not use the AC.
    I mean, I ride my bicycle, so first thing when I get home, I shower anyway. I figure I can just change the water weekly. Oh, and I bought a kinda floating chair with mesh & inflatable head and arm rests, so only my head will be outta the water.
    I am super excited to see how it goes.

    It's funny, I actually found my way here as I was looking to go the other way (shower head onto garden hose) but I might actually do this the next time I have a clogged drain so I can connect a pressure washer and attempt to clear the blockage with brute force. Either it will work or it'll make a huge mess so either way it'll do something

    I don't know your objective for 3 uploads a week to YT is, but if you are thinking of monetizing, consider this: Under the new CZcams pay plan the best posters are now, in 2018, only averaging $2 for each 1,000 views. 10,000 views for $20 bucks. I enjoy your videos but you might find a more profitable use of your time. Maybe you can get some sponsors like some have and get free tools, but still... I'm just saying. I'll still watch and be interested in all things Handyman. OMG. I just spotted a video on How to Never Dig A Hole Again. Gotta see that.
