Why are the soap dishes falling out of the shower walls?

You could be right Brian.

That does sound like a mess Chuck. Hiring a professional may be a great way to get it done right the first time.

I have never heard of these things being removed Rob, they are a problem at times but people want them! 

Pulling the soap dish off the wall does seem like a obvious choice Travis.

Coffee cup holder???  hahahaha
There are many things wrong with that Mike.  :)

It must have gotten loose somehow Lyn.

Sacramentians do appear to be clean people Jim.  :)

It is a pretty easy repair in most cases Kimo, but finding the reason will help in preventing it from happening again.

I don't think people realize how much pressure is put on the soap dish when doing this Linda.

Kat - I guess you would have to grab onto whatever is available at the time right?

Did you consider adding wood backing just in case you changed your mind about adding grab bars in the future Ed?

If they are going to be replaced, a professional may have more experience in replacing these soap dish failures Bruce.

There are certainly more options for this today than in the past Rod.

Installation technique could have been a part of the problem here Joe.

Funny you should say that Tom, the new dishes do not have the bar for the wash rag like the original.  :)

If it came out easily Jill, your timing is great. It would have been a problem soon.

Nobody will admit to being a part of the problem Scott, "It just fell off!"  :)

Water behind the tiles can escalate into greater problems Sharon.

I hope that I never have to experience it personally Joan, but it does happen.  :)

It could be Laura, thanks for the comment today.

Thanks for the feedback John.

It was time to play detective Jan.  :)

Towel racks can be a tricky thing to do Gene, you are not alone!  :)

You're killing me Whitney!!!

You are not alone in your thinking though.  :)

John - Who does have a hammer in the tub?  :)

Troy - I guess the job now is the get the dishes back up to stay.

Liz - Thanks for the kind words, I can't wait for your next comment.  :)
