One of the many great things about Brooks is that he always takes my crazy suggestions seriously. A recent one has to do with his upcoming garage remodel. Or to put it more accurately, current garage destruction, digging of enormous hole for garage basement (because what garage is complete without a basement?!), and construction of a much larger, lighter space for the cool garagy things he has.
Since the garage is separated from the house by a patio area that is outfitted with a grill, I suggested that he might want to consider making that wall of the garage out of some kind of glass door. This would expand the patio area if needed, allow for balmy summer breezes, and inspire envy the next time he has a motorcycle work party. And then I found these. And they totally work.
But what’s even better is the website itself. Clearly, The Folding Sliding Door Company devotes most of their energy to making super fly doors, not web design or copywriting. And while the site is functional enough–you can, for example, get a “quotation”–it is full of charming near-use of the English language. The best part is their “why buy from us” page. Apparently, there are MANY manufacturers out there masquerading as “folding sliding door specialists.” Many. And that information is accompanied with the following dire warning:
We specialise in folding sliding doors only. The design and manufacture of folding sliding doors is an exact science. Do not buy from chancers.
Do not buy from chancers! Love it! Love their doors too, so the website is an added bonus.
Yes, but note the following:
1) need this http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35433
2) Garagjournal.com as a discussion site actually exists and is now my new obsession.
