Quit posting witchcraft Zanne……
My friend put up the double showerheads. He used galvanized pipe to support the elbows. He installed a 2nd control as well.
He's going to add a drop ell and get a handheld showerhead that has an off button so he won't need a diverter.

Looks nice, but How much water comes out of that type shower ? I think the rainfall type doesn't put out a lot of pressure. I personally like to be power washed with a massage type shower head. That's what feels good to me...
Tell him to replace that galvanized with copper or brass.
My friend reported that the rainshowers have excellent pressure and he felt like it was trying to pressure wash him. LOL.
Copper and brass were not in his budget. I didn't like the idea of galvanized, but its what he wanted to go with. It's not like he's going to be drinking the water. I need to get pictures of my new hose setup outside. Didn't bring my phone with me on my walk this morning when I fixed stuff up.

He intends to drywall over this at some point. 
Drop ell will go in the hole that the old shower arm went through.
The 4" pipes coming down for the showerheads will probably be replaced with shorter ones so there is more head room in the shower.

That’s the ole free float valve install method 
Copper would’ve been cheaper or he could’ve used pex. Galvanized will rust and cause staining and clogged shower heads. But it’ll be a while before it shows up.

I thought it was called a Philly Gas pump. Works on strangers vehicles......
What was installed there before?
Is that a Tankless on the exterior?
It’s an exterior tankless installed in a recessed enclosure. New construction approximately 6-7 yrs old.
The owner couldn’t tell I had already dug a trench through his rocks and covered it back up.

When I first moved to SC, this red dirt freaked me out. Wife hated it (harder to clean than the northern black / brown)
It’s red clay with sand mixed in. It packs tight for construction uses. It’s in my area naturally but not everywhere, it’s trucked in when new homes are built.
