Notes: I'm still not sure what the load-bearing capacity of the shower rod in the upstairs bathroom is, but now I know it's somewhere less than six wet linen shirts. monshu finally made it to Clark-Devon for a cheap plastic replacement on Saturday morning and I was stymied on how to fit it into place until I finally read the package instructions and discovered that you had to twist it to adjust the length first. So I went and picked up the old metal one--which both of us had wrestled with for considerable time earlier in the week before giving up for ruined--and realised the same trick worked. Anyone need a cheap extendable curtain rod?

(N.B.: I originally wanted to make this entry "tension rod", which is what I thought was the proper name for a curtain rod that was held in place by an internal spring rather than being screwed into the wall. But I had no luck at all finding translations.)

That specific kind of rod would be called "Barra de cortina a presión" here :)

Always helping or trying to :)

German: also Gardinenstange.

Compare also Stilgarnitur (http://images.google.com/images?q=stilgarnitur), which is, to me, a completely non-obvious name but seems to refer consistently to something curtain-rod-related. (Or to the whole ensemble of curtain rod + wall brackets? I really don't know the exact reference of that term.)
