We were replacing a large store window, and the team always uses tempered glass for strength. I suggested laminated might be better for sound reduction and security. This led to a few uncomfortable glances and a quiet chat over coffee break. The client overheard and asked for laminated, which we installed without issue.
My neighbor saw me change a cracked window. Now he thinks I can fix any glass thing, even a busted phone. At a get-together, he called me the 'glass guy' who does wonders. I had to explain we just install glass, not perform tricks. It's awkward but kinda silly.
The result was smoother with no messy cleanup.
Said no, but now I'm worried about losing future work...
I was fitting a shower door yesterday. Every piece of glass seemed a bit short. Checked my tape against a new one. It was stretched out from use. Now I test it before any big cut.
