True.

Hmm... I had reached out to the manufacturer via Amazon. This was their response (I've translated from French) Thank you very much for providing us with detailed information about the walls, along with the photos. We have forwarded all the information you provided to our engineers for...

I have to agree with you, Father Dougal, I mean.. I thought that's what tiles were for? No?

Ok, but as far as the wall goes, if that's what my wall is, then I can install this with my plastic anchors and be fine, ensure any holes drilled are siliconed, the wall will technically be fine if one was careful after to not let it get excessively wet?

Ok, I'll take that into consideration. I'm trying to reach out to forums where there are local tradespeople who can maybe identify what this wall is and what it can handle. I don't terribly mind the 360 shower curtain idea but the mold and mildew build up is an annoyance. Is there nothing I can...

Ok, so you're saying the wall built around that tub will have actually been installed without concern about any kind of water resistance because the tub was never intended to have water spray towards the walls with any frequency? So how is one supposed to use that shower head on the wall and...

How so? The water showers down into the tub, not against the wall. In fact, what is there now is a simple holder for a shower head that one is meant to put up on the wall.

Right, well that's not gonna happen because this is a rental in a rather prized apartment residence actually. Surprised to find this may be inadequate materials.

I genuinely have no idea. But.. I've taken a couple of photos with my endoscopic camera and a video. No clue what I'm looking at. Did I just happen by chance to find myself in this hexagonal air pocket in the wall?! And what is that material? Some kind of internal foam? All I see when I...

We've moved into a place and there's a bathtub with handheld shower hose connected to the faucet, as is typical in bathtubs here. Then they've just put a shower head holder on the wall. So we want to install a shower column without taps. What I want to install: I got this, and it's perfect, but...

Thanks, that's helpful.

I just opened my meite MT7116LN pneumatic upholstery stapler all excited to get going with the 7m (25ft) 1/4inch hose I bought and I'm reading in the meite instructions that I can't use a hose longer than 5m (16ft) with it? Is that definitive? Can someone give me real world advice here? My...

On the world side, you mean, the side closest to the outside?

I don't have those brackets. It seems to be the one thing the previous owner didn't keep. It probably means they were thrown out. I was just gonna come in here to say I'm starting to give up. I have no idea what to do. I don't have enough cabinet anywhere because of these ridiculous streamlined...

The little black tabs really refuse to come out. It's a Frigidaire FPID2498SF. I also checked the installation instructions and they make no reference to them at all.
