Just going to order from Lowe's and pick up in store.

I'm also debating on getting my sliding door for the back with the blinds built in. My slider that I currently have is shit. Lowes wants $550 for the install I'm going to contact a family friend who pretty much built his house and ask him to give me a hand.

Kev...get the low e french doors!
I don't like the internal blinds cause I always am worried that they'll stop working.
We're big on using curtains for privacy on the doors anyway.

I got a quote this week from my contractor and french doors were more expensive than the sliding doors 2.5K versus ~1.3K plus a longer lead time and my contractor wants to push forward with the install..

fuck forgot all about blinds inside... gotta ask the supplier if they have those..

I just hate sliders, they inevitably slide badly. I guess doing track maintenance could help.

French doors FTW!

Agreed. We put French doors in our master bedroom. Gonna have the deck extend across the whole back of the house, so I can get up in the morning and have a cup of coffee on the deck, sitting cross legged so my junk hangs out.

Turns out the radio in the Mustang is not connected properly (wrong harness) meaning that the speakers in the front doors aren't working minus the tweeters. Ain't gonna buy shit now but will report to father. Moved the sound to the back speakers instead in the mean time...

Maj, regarding your post in the Honda technology section- sonata vs TL went up to 100km/h. She kept gaining ground on me up to that point though.

Only in Costco will you see a line of fat ass people WAITING for the free samples to be cooked. It's going to take 5 to 7 minutes folks.

That's ok, we will wait... While the guy passing out veggie chips has no one around him..

He says this all the time, "it's not really that clean, it just photographs well". Seeing it in person, he's right. it's definitely far from perfect, but he keeps it in good condition..

But we're also talking about J who is borderline compulsive when it comes to his car/house (read: how many progress threads does he have? ). So he definitely takes good care of his stuffs

I don't even really need a Type-S, granted I wouldn't mind it. I'd take an 07-08 base..
