Hi guys, I hope all is well. TIL that the fixed half of a sliding glass door costs over $1000. How 'bout that? Maybe I'll just buy more firewood instead.
I wrote and recorded a new song this afternoon.
LOL I do believe I mentioned that it was gonna be costly to repair said door.
If you're handy, and it wasn't welded from the factory, you can probably find someone to custom cut a piece of Lexan to suit. I'm 99.9% certain that you won't break the Lexan replacement. Fitting it into the fixture might not be easy, if they tack welded it or whatever they're doing with aluminum these days. I recommend against the duct tape route, no matter how tempting that may seem.
Lexan looks like it may be an acceptable replacement to get me through the winter.
Over the past few months, I broke the fixed door of the slider, my dog broke a living room window, I threw a rock with my lawn mower that took out the passenger side window of my jeep, and a few days ago, I leaned a glass picture frame up on my workbench, just to have it fall and smash, scattering fragments across the floor of my studio.
Before this year, I don't recall ever breaking an expensive piece of glass. Wtf...
Unless it's double pane, in which case you case you could also double it. It should have similar thermal properties to glass, unless it's fancy glass that blocks or retains heat.
You need to keep away from glass, or you're gonna end up getting hurt!
I once dated a chick whose father owned a glazier's shop. She had no trouble climbing out on a 90' ledge and putting glass in.
Oh, and Jerry Lee Lewis died. I thought he was already dead, but I guess not.
Really good song. Nice and mellow with a good melody and groove.
Cheaper just buy new assembly and install or what.
