First time using blister free. Week later added global hp 30.

No tint today, just glass replacement.   

For those who can't make up their mind.

I’ll go out on a limb and say no.....but maybe  

Not today's project, but a pretty cool little job we did on Sunday.

If your sole argument is that solar won't be around forever then I think it's safe to say we agree, I guess we just differ on the rate of decline, as they apply to us individually. The standards of new construction in metro america are light years away from Everyday, USA. Triple pane glass is no where even close to the standard here, so I dare say a quarter......if not half of the country even knows what low-e or triple pane is. I do agree that a hefty percentage of the metro/commercial solar will dry up and I am thankful I didn't model my business around that percentage.

Serious question here Tom, and with all due respect.  Do you think that a business model of getting the most work at the lowest price could have something to do with the overall negativity and outlook on the market? Because after all a cut throat volume business is typically at the tip of the spear when it comes to vulnerability in market shifts.

I use old office chairs, still had a couple of them break over the years but they're usually pretty decent for a long time 

It’s a really cool place actually. Didn’t get any other pics because the owner, also really cool dude, was hovering around the whole time. 
 
Half of that wall is a sliding door panel. It’s hiding a guest bedroom from the main foyer, all welded steel frames, super clean and definitely custom.
 
The building is an old converted mill in the heart of downtown and spans pretty much the whole block, so he’s sitting pretty on the commercial rentals alone. Think he owns a brewery in there as well. The whole place had really unique touches to it, never really liked the idea of living downtown but I think I could make a place like that work.  

I thought I would share how to make this one easier.
 
Shrink/Wet Shrink:
 
Roll film out on BG, trim along bottom-edge, bump bottom down, mark sides, roll down, and trim top-edge. Then trim sides and round off corners. Dry shrink the bottom portion, pull film off, roll down glass and wet shrink the top portion. 
 
Its important to anchor in the middle and to anchor where it creates more to shrink,  not less to avoid fingers. I bottom load with hatch up. Reverse roll works good too. 
 
Panel Removal:
 
This panel comes off fast. Pop the light covers and remove strap cover and remove 3 - 10mm bolts. Door panels are 3 bolts that are in same location on all doors.
