So since I’ve moved in, one of the sliding doors on my shower has been sticking a lot. I’ve pretty much just been dealing with it, since it’s not a big deal. Haven’t mentioned anything to the super, or anyone, really. Today, the door was magically fixed. Slid like it was just installed yesterday. I ...
