A homeowner in Boise asked me why I didn't just use a bigger piece of glass for his shower door instead of two smaller ones.
He said 'Wouldn't one big sheet be stronger and look cleaner?', which honestly made me stop and realize I'd been defaulting to the two-panel method for years without really questioning if the weight and install complexity were worth the supposed seam benefit.

That homeowner's question actually changed how I see it now.

The question about foundation drainage was actually from a contractor, not the homeowner. It was the third question in the Q&A part. That detail shifts the whole context of the advice given.

Yeah, that "stop and realize" moment hits hard. I once spent a whole day framing for a single huge mirror before it hit me that a truck couldn't even get it up the driveway. Sometimes the old way is just the way your hands know how to do it, even when your brain checks out.
