Re: Yet another project
On the other hand, depending on how you interpret it, that could also mean that I wasn't convinced myself, until I had tested it in real life.
 "Of course" might have been there because I should have been confident in my own skills.

 That was just an attempt to mess with your head a little. Yeah, why wouldn't they be?

Re: Yet another project
Because I like to fantasize about how cool my projects will be when they're finished.
And to make sure that the ones who cut the pieces didn't mess up.

Re: Yet another project
It's always a risk. I ordered glass a few months back, the b******s got one side about 10mm wrong.
Too early to tell if it's going to be a good one, I can always mess it up. Like I said, I have parts for two, but I'm going to assemble just one for now. The second one is going to be a bit different, with two swinging doors and the possibility to divide it. And it sure made a serious dent in my budget. I seriously underestimated the price of the cutting service.  It would have been cheaper to buy the tools and cut the parts myself.

Re: Yet another project
I know, it's those "hidden" costs that really start to mount up and push the price over budget. I always have ground-in finger grips in my sliding glass doors, and all the edges smoothed off. It triples the price.

Re: Yet another project
I always get the smooting off for free, since I'm such a loyal customer. The costs that surprised me were the price of the wood (nearly twice as high as I expected) and the
aluminium-rail-like-thingy-the-glass-panes-slide-in (my vocabulary desperately needs an expansion pack), which cost about half of what I had expected.

Re: Yet another project
Stefan,
Really great looking wood. I can already picture your snakes within, and it's going to look awesome! Hopefully the memory of the price tag will fade quickly .Rick Last edited by Cazador : 05-01-2007 at 01:23 AM. |
