I have lived in the same house with my wife since 2007.  A few years ago I bought out her brother and became a part-home owner, myself!  Which felt fantastic, because even though I didn't get to select the house, still I was very connected to it from all the work I've put into it over the years. 
 
Of all the projects I have to say that work on the bathtub, shower, and shower doors have most persistently offered such vexingly stubborn problems.  I had to replace the originals that had been on since maybe the 70's.  There was a reason.  I'm having trouble recollecting it at the present moment, but it must have been compelling, mustn't it?

I replaced them a few years ago and thought that was the end of that.  It wasn't even a year before one of the little rollers dislodged and left the sliding door dragging on bare aluminum.  

So after recognizing that I could not source the proper replacement part, I decided to replace the doors again, alltogether.  

I won't bore you with all the details, but suffice it to say that in the end I ripped out my own last, failed attempt at installing the doors properly and safely and smashed the shower doors with an axe in my driveway, which felt great.  

I gave up on the strange single-minded solution of "restore functional shower doors."  I realized that there is a simple, inexpensive, effective solution for containing shower overspray!  One that NEVER requires removal of hard water stains. The humble shower curtain. 

Just before the sun went down and I cleaned up the glass I caught this image of the glass and me at peace with each other.
