Many a time hubby had found himself in the shower with a head full of shampoo and no water to wash it off while I was washing up after dinner, blissfully unaware of the predicament he was in! And worse of all, he had no way of telling me to turn off the kitchen tap because I wouldn't be able to hear him yelling from upstairs as the distance is quite far.
One day I jokingly mentioned that we should install an intercom in the bathroom and kitchen, and hubby came up with an idea, so this is what he fixed in the bathroom instead....

Very creative idea!
When I was young, I stayed in a double-storey shop. At times when the phone rang, if we picked up the phone upstairs, we had to run downstairs yelling if the calls belonged to those downstairs.
To avoid a lot of running & yelling, my creative dad came out with a DOORBELL system. Eg, if the call belonged to him, we pressed "ring, ring, ring........", and if it belonged to my uncle, it was " ring ring......, ring ring......" etc.
How I miss those days of ring ring ring...
Looks like your dad and my husband had the same idea to save us all from the running and yelling :)
