Lately, just pushing custom shower doors & mirrors. Today, someone thought about making their own drive thru. So there was 2 new 6'x6' plate glass & sash installation. And it is a hot one here in Fl. today. I've been installing for 15 years, but my husband has been in it forever. His father was a glazier also. It's just hard closing the doors on something you've done for so long. We also build screen rooms & pool enclosures, but that's getting the best of us....... were getting too old- This vinyl gig is great....... mostly inside work (at least the lay out & cutting). And the installs are never like the glass business. I've just got to get alot better at the vinyl, but everyone here is so helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted July 24, 2008 Hey John, Small World! I am in Athens, TN! I've been there.More than once. The last time, I had to drive back to Knoxville in one of the worst snow/ice storms I ever saw. Went to get off the interstate...couldn't stop and just went right back UP the other ramp and right back on to the interstate. What a night that was! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every now and then we get some good snow and ice, but mostly not. It's nice to know there are some local folks on here. This place is great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
