I have enough examples of designers and engineers not thinking about the real world when designing things.
But the shower suddenly drains properly again, I suspect the blockage has been washed to the bigger pipe and has flushed away. Hopefully.
Today's rant is that it just past 9.30 am and I'm already fed up with the day. After a couple of very quiet days in the neighbourhood this morning, since before 8 am there has been an explosion of noise. Around the back there are some neighbours who are having their sheds roofs redone, lost of whining of saws. Next door neighbour is having her roof insulated and the pump they use makes this awful grating sound.
Mind you, we can't say anything, because tomorrow my sister has planned to start with the stairwell. Before the new carpet is laid in September she wants to repaint the woodwork surrounding the stairs. So today I'm cleaning all the woodwork and tomorrow she plans on starting with the sanding. For the next couple of days I'll be wearing either ear protection or my noise cancelling headphones. But I suspect that by Monday I'll be exhausted because of the auditory overstimulation.
