Work-arounds, I luv 'em
That's what I like about this site, the spirit. Got a problem? Devise a work-around. That's what life's about...
I was at another site and the posting was about decorative plastic snap-on caps for a license frame mounting screws cracking when installed. Hmm, I just had a simmilar problem with shower door hardware. So I posted a response to warm the plastic caps in hot water before installing, makes 'em soft and pliable. I thought it was a reasonable work-around. I ended the post with "Maybe the manufacturer should include this tip with their instructions." Lo and behold came a reply to my post that "Maybe the manufacturer should make the caps the right size!" That kinda stung. I could have rattled on about how the caps and hardware weren't a precision thing, costs involved, etc. but it wasn't worth the time.
Good to be back. Great group.
