The customer who wanted a 'see-through' wall
I was doing a storefront install in Toledo last month, and the owner kept asking if we could make the whole front wall 'disappear'. He literally said, 'I want people to walk right through it, like magic!' I had to explain, very slowly, that glass is still a solid object. He seemed genuinely disappointed we couldn't make a portal. Has anyone else had a client with expectations that defied basic physics?

See it from the client's side though. They're paying for a vision, not a physics lesson. That "magic" feeling is what they're actually buying. My job is to get as close to that feeling as possible, even if the wall stays solid. Maybe we used a frameless glass system that almost disappears, or a door that slides completely into a pocket. You find a solution that feels like magic to them.
