On July 5th, 2007, I was on vacation in Las Vegas when I got a phone call from my #1 unit claiming that shower door has collapsed as if the ceiling has fallen and how much her family was endangered and so on. I was undaunted because the day before on 4th of July, she called me about seeing a cockroach on her living room. It seems that tenants, especially the lonely ones, love to ruin the landlord's holidays as a way to get back to them for the rents they charge.
On that weekend, 1st day after we returned from our Vegas trip, I went over to the unit to check things out. Well, the shower door has run off tracked and fell into the tub. I adjusted the rollers of the door and put the shower door back on track. The rollers are a bit old. I figured that I should just replace the roller. But I couldn't find the exact same roller anywhere, after checking out OSH, Lowe's, and Home Depot on subsequent days. I'm sure the shower door will go off track one of these days again, probably during one of my holidays.
The lessons learned that one should avoid installing shower doors in the apartment. Shower curtains are cleaner and easier, cheaper to replace.
