I loved Louisiana, we had a place on the river, and our memories are great ones! In regards to consumer loyalty, I think that has to be earned & appreciated. For example, we were going to buy our tile from The Tile Shop. The rep we had spent a good amount of time with us and during our second visit, not only were we promised contractor pricing but there had been a price hike and he promised to honor the original prices. I was so happy with this store & the rep, I was recommending them to anyone who was interested. However, once the rep (who's paid by commission) thought he had the sale "in the bag", he conveniently changed the pricing and when I questioned it, he just brushed it off saying this was the best he could do. He didn't even look at us when he said it, or offer any other explanation. Bottom line was "his best" wasn't what he had promised and quoted in writing previously. So the pricing increased 10% across the board, our discount was lowered and I was very annoyed. Unfortunately for the rep, when I'm annoyed, I go shopping, which is when I found a tile we liked just as well for substantially less. We saved over 500.00. My DH says we should have stuck with The Tile Shop because the guy spent so much time with us, I say he didn't deserve the loyalty because he didn't keep his word and was taking advantage. It's just my personal opinion, but I don't believe loyalty can't justify spending the amount of savings you are talking about, but only you can decide what is right for you. In regards to the differences in glass thickness, I think they are both safe and it's just a matter of preference and budget. I figured that if we're not happy with the door we got, they are easy enough to change and we upgrade later. HTH -- Lukki

i have this same issue and i been lookign for solutions but after many calls to companies no know offers this type of repairs.. Does anyone knows of a company or handy man that can repair this ?

Dixie - nope, no rod, just push the curtain back and pull it closed. I haven't noticed soiling or marking and I haven't felt the need to clean the curtains yet. They've been up a little under a year, I think. The fabric is a very heavy canvas and they are washable. No lining or anything, but they are nice and heavy and they were cheap and will do until we decide to tackle "real" window treatments in this room (in addition to the door, there is a large, almost floor-to-ceiling bay window and another window in there). We are an adults-only household right now, but I'm certainly not a neat freak and the curtains made it unscathed through a very busy BBQ season. The rod is mounted as wide and high as I thought was reasonable, so the curtains have a fair bit of clearance. I don't know if you can tell from the picture above, but they also stack very narrowly, so you really can get them right out of the way of your path through the door.

My metal shower door frame only had holes from screws on the vertical portions. The bottom track was not screwed into the rim of the tub. The holes may not be that big. You may be able to fill them with autobody filler and touch up the holes with a little paint, or screw in a slightly larger screw into the hole and paint the screw with a small amount of paint. It will not be perfect but it will be covered by the shower curtain as well.
