Glassy glass frameless shower door

Today the long awaited shower door was installed. We had been waiting for about 2 months, and it took a call to the supplier before an install appointment was scheduled -> "Sure, when would you like it? Wednesday or Friday this week?" -- amazing.

Anyway, it is in and it looks tremendous. We selected a frameless style with brushed nickel hinges and handle (matches the other fixtures nicely.) Unfortunately we had to install a shower door sidelight because of the side of the opening. At least we didn't have to have the top frame rail installed like we were originally told we would (hopefully we don't need it!)

And the wolf BLEW....

Well we still aren't finished and now things are already starting to fall apart! Things are moving along reeeeeally slowly and now the shingles on the new roof are, well, blowing off! We have been assured by the contractor (of course) and also by the supplier that the application of the shingles is correct, and they must be defective. So we have to fill out a bunch of paperwork and I guess get new ones? Anyway, they are hurricane grade shingles so this really shouldn't have happened.






A now a week later, more have come off...










This week this is supposed to be taken care - shingle replacement - we will see how we make out with the manufacturer.
