I will admit that this column is not about plumbing — it is about addressing the consequences from plumbing. When I wrote a whimsical column in 2014 about installing a shower without any curtains or doors, one of the themes was designing the shower to avoid a cold breeze while showering, or immediately after showering.
My submitted column had a line regarding bathroom ventilation, with a follow-up that read, “That’s a story for another column.” My editors deleted that line, as they probably should have.
