Your a better window tinter than me. The language is followed by wading the tint into a ball and placing in file 13. Looks good, monday is a long way off.

Too cool.

One question though, how do you close the door while laying in bed?

OK. I have a question. How do you keep water from dripping in the door when it is raining and the door is open? I hope you've got some kind of raingutter planned / implemented. Of course, maybe I just didn't see that part, either. :lol:

By the way, I love the design and the craftsmanship. :thumbsup: :applause:

Simply incredible. :thumbsup: :applause: :thumbsup: :applause: :thumbsup: :applause: :thumbsup:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.
