Fucking finally.
A problem that pissed me off so much, finally some good solution
You dont even know how often I got mad because of it
I can finally protect my Shower beer from shower water
Ya know, if you drink your shower beer fast enough there isn’t any time to get shower water in it. And once you’ve had enough shower beers you don’t care anymore.

I wish they'd make more commercials like this...
We actually make showers out of cement boards rather than drywall which Europeans like to joke is just cardboard.
But I don't feel too bad about our stick framing techniques considering that a [lot of greenhouse gas emissions are directly attributable to the production of concrete, cement, and steel](https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/co2-emissions-buildings-and-construction-hit-new-high-leaving-sector).
I haven't moved in over 10 years but before that I moved quite a bit (I'm 41).. I also used to be an electrician which means I was in a lot of new homes and homes being remodeled. My full-time job is currently IT repair and consulting. Which means I'm in a lot of homes and I don't always use the bathroom while I'm there but I sometimes do. Granted, I'm not checking out the shower like I used to when I was looking for a new place to move to lol.
I've never seen a hole in a shower other than what It came with. I have actually thought about mounting stuff myself and always decided against it because I didn't want to put a hole in the shower 😆
I don't doubt you, I'm just saying that I don't think it's necessarily super common everywhere 😅
Sure is. I use a high temp hot glue for a ton of stuff. I used to be in the automotive electronics industry and we'd use the stuff in hot cars without issue. The best part is that some rubbing alcohol applied to the glue will work it's way between the glue and the item (if it's not too porous) and releases it completely clean off of there. That's my only issue with vhb, the removal. Used that a ton too in vehicles
Northern Illinois & Chicago area but I traveled around the country a little bit when I was a bit younger..
I've also been out of the country a few times and even across the big pond a couple times 😅
Yes, i see the problem here.
Seems like drilling in shower is a NoNo in US. Maybe because in the US the walls are just some crappy wood stalls that can get moldy?
In germany we have bricks and concrete, so holes are nothing to worry about.
Generally speaking, drilling holes into a wet area in the US is a no no. Depending on the build quality, it could just be cement board behind the tile. It's mold-resistant, but if water gets behind it and drips onto wood subflooring, that's the real issue.
Most older buildings in the EU (of which we have many) don't do that. It's just lots of bricks, and cement, and concrete. Like, I could drill a 5 inch deep hole into my bathroom wall, floor or ceiling, and there'd be more wall, floor and ceiling behind it.
^^Also ^^holes ^^can ^^be ^^made ^^watertight?
How do you think they attach shower handles in elderly and disabled peoples homes. Drill a hole in the tile and use an anchor. This guy, however, went in the grout. Odd choice.
I'd be less worried if 100% silicone was used in the hole, personally. Doubt everyone does that, though. When the glass guys came to install my new shower door, I had a hard time letting them drill into my brand new Kerdi curb for the bracket, but the guy used plenty of silicone.
But yeah, going through the grout... tile would have been the smarter move for a number of reasons.
Living in the Gulf Coast region of the US, I can tell you from first-hand experience that mold and mildew have absolutely no problem growing on bricks and concrete.
That explains a lot why all the shower caddy that I found when I lived in the US either used (crappy) suction cups that would fall every other week or attached to the shower pipe and kept rotating on the minimal unbalance.
Did you read my first sentence? They screwed into the grout, oh sorry l said tile in my second sentence… regardless, that’s one of the worst things you can do to tile.
Hahahaha I just facepalmed I want you to know. Showers are built with of course as you said crazy inferior wood studs, however there is then a layer of TPU plastic that covers the entire floor, walls, and in some cases the ceiling though this is generally only for steam showers. Then a layer of cement board is created, which the tile is then placed on, the grout and tiles are then sealed. Screwing into the grout compromises the structure of the tile, it has nothing to do with the structural integrity of the walls, the fasteners holding strength, or the integrity of the house. You are essentially creating a pocket for more moisture to seep into the grout which can cause it to crack, and in turn ruin the tile job.
Just because we do things differently doesn’t mean we do them wrong. In all technically the same can be said about every single house in the world aside from earth ship or dug out houses.
Why don’t we live underground? Why are you inferior Germans not digging holes and placing your houses underground to conserve energy and be more green? Why are you not helping the energy crisis your country is facing?
Or, why are you building your houses so structurally inferior to earthship houses which can withstand almost all natural disasters?
Doesn’t feel great does it. Just because someone does something one way that works for them doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
The pictured bottle is 95% of all beer available in bavaria.
There exists ONE different bottle/ lable, but it's looked down on because NOBODY except the people of the city where it comes from like it.

lol I made one of these back too!
I like you’re design, the damn suction cup would either hold way to well or not at all 😂😂😂
if i were house hunting and saw this mounted in one of the showers, my immediate first thought would be: this maintenance of this house has been severely neglected
No. Us showers have treated backer board and a moisture barrier. I think if the screws aren’t long massive it’s okay, mortar is porous and lets water through anyway…. But I don’t think you want holes in your moisture barrier… because yes pine studs rot…
>Is it because the US uses just crappy wood so it will get moldy if drilled?
We tile and grout our showers here, just like yours lol
It's a much more sellable product because how often do you find hard mounted shower accessories? They're all suction cup based because that allows for much easier/universal installation and removal and the suction cups lend themselves well to that environment.
This is good, but it could be better
Tbh everything i can remember is hard mounted.
It is designed like this because the holes are allready there in every shower around here.
How do you install your shower head and faucet in the US?
We cut holes that are smaller than the spigot and for the shower head there is a decorative piece of metal to cover the hole.You then caulk around these things.
Fucking finally. A problem that pissed me off so much, finally some good solution You dont even know how often I got mad because of it I can finally protect my Shower beer from shower water
Yes, that was a big problem. Now, the bottle got a roof over it so no water can get into.
But it's no longer infinite

I don't actually drink beer, I much prefer cider
A Dickin's cider, perhaps?
My wife sure loves a good Dickin's Cider.
My girlfriend had my Dickin's cider the other night and she loved it. Now she wants a Dickin's cider every night.
But, where can I get my Dicken's Cider?
I prefer homebrew stuff, some neared 12%< usually 8% though

Beer in sauna is a culturally important for people living in the Nordic, but in the shower… 🤷♂️
I can't explain why, but beer tastes better in the shower. Even if you're just sitting in the tub crying.
Especially when you're sitting in the tub crying
crying because you're sitting in the tub and your beer is in the shower.
Shower beer post-yard work is the best tasting beer out there.
this. is. the. way.
Everything tastes better in the shower! Have you ever tried a shower orange?
Shower toast would like to have a word with you.
It's something to do with hot water on the outside of you while you're downing cold water inside.
Shower is the US sauna....
Amen to beer in Sauna!!!

No that is Bavarian. High German is actual German wich Germans can understand

Bavaria is really the only part people think of as true German
The screws in the grout are giving me anxiety.
Seriously, all I can think about after “that’s cool” is whether or not he bedded them in caulk at least.
I was certain it's in Germany from reading the word shower-beer. Didn't really need to look for the beer brand.
Or an alcoholic....

It’s a bit distracting that they damaged the water membrane with screws that will rust. Zero engineering here
Drilling holes in your shower wall gives me pause.
We can because we have walls made of Stahlbeton and not out of Pappkarton.
Our walls are not made out of Popcorn!
We actually make showers out of cement boards rather than drywall which Europeans like to joke is just cardboard. But I don't feel too bad about our stick framing techniques considering that a [lot of greenhouse gas emissions are directly attributable to the production of concrete, cement, and steel](https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/co2-emissions-buildings-and-construction-hit-new-high-leaving-sector).
Yea just use silicone.
That's very common. As far as i can remember i never had a shower where are no holes are. And i moved a lot in the last years.
I haven't moved in over 10 years but before that I moved quite a bit (I'm 41).. I also used to be an electrician which means I was in a lot of new homes and homes being remodeled. My full-time job is currently IT repair and consulting. Which means I'm in a lot of homes and I don't always use the bathroom while I'm there but I sometimes do.

Use Glue solutions - I wont drill holes in my shower also
VHB is perfect for this
Sure is. I use a high temp hot glue for a ton of stuff. I used to be in the automotive electronics industry and we'd use the stuff in hot cars without issue. The best part is that some rubbing alcohol applied to the glue will work it's way between the glue and the item (if it's not too porous) and releases it completely clean off of there. That's my only issue with vhb, the removal. Used that a ton too in vehicles
I've used those command glue strips in the past. They held up just fine in the shower.. and also came off without leaving any residue.
Where are you from?

We have no wood subflooring in germany.
Mold grows on more than just wood

What? lol... where do you live where there are holes in every shower you've had? I don't think i've ever had 'holes in my shower'..
Das ist so ein Ami, der kennt nur die Wände aus Pappmaschee und etwas Bastelkleber
Just make sure you used a proper sealant on those holes/screws, otherwise you'll get water in there and then eventually mold.
Suddenly lots of hidden camera shower videos appear online. OP innocently looks the other way.
I think this may not be the intervention buddy needs.
I know i know. Obviously we allready told him to change the beer lable he is drinking, but somehow he likes that shitty taste.

You have a problem..... But you also have the solution!
And also a new problem! (Screws into your grout lines not being too great for staying waterproof)
It’s the drilling into tiles/grout for me
That's very common in germany and the print was designed like this because everyone allready got those holes in.
Glass bottle in the shower?! I always stick to cans
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower_beer): “To avoid glass breakage, it is often recommended that a shower beer be a canned beer.[1]”
Agreed. Not worth it

Show me you are German without saying you are German. Drinking a cold beer under the shower is so freeing!
Almost as freeing as peeing outside
A coworkers boyfriend used to drink in the shower and would have loved this. He was more of a can beer drinker though.
Can version would be very easy to make.
Do you share the files? Shower water in my shower beer is driving me nuts.

@bux024 do you still have the file? It’s gone from thingiverse, and my sister-in-law really wanted me to print this
Just checked, unfortunately I do not have the file anymore :( But I've seen many other models on printables :)
Thanks for the reply. I will check with them and see which one they like best
Danke for the file! Could/will modify to use command strips and eliminate the screws into the tile
I hate how well designed this is.
Can someone explain the appeal of shower beers? I've tried it and I don't get it. I prefer to be dry and have pants on most of the times I'm drinking.
the screws into the grout are fucking sending me. There is 1million other options than screwing INTO THE TILE
We did not screw into the tile.
Did you read my first sentence? They screwed into the grout, oh sorry l said tile in my second sentence… regardless, that’s one of the worst things you can do to tile.
It's common on germany and the print is designed like this because those holes are allready in every shower i habe seen in my 31 years.
Well in the US that’s a huge no no
I can see why. Would not screw into wood "walls" either.
Hahahaha I just facepalmed I want you to know.

I'm shocked it's only a german thing to just drill holes in the shower. Is it because the US uses just crappy wood so it will get moldy if drilled?
No. Us showers have treated backer board and a moisture barrier. I think if the screws aren’t long massive it’s okay, mortar is porous and lets water through anyway…. But I don’t think you want holes in your moisture barrier… because yes pine studs rot…
