Sewers are egg-shaped because that shape ensures that they are narrower at the bottom. This shape causes water near the bottom to flow faster, reducing the likelihood of solids being deposited. If solids were deposited, the sewer would eventually silt up and become blocked.
How do you level and plumb a sliding glass door?
The question is a little confusing. If the floor is level you just put the bottom of the sliding glass door track on the floor. With the stationary section of glass in place the one side of the door should now be quite plumb and all you have to do is attach that part of the frame to the house. On the other hand, if you are asking about a door that is already installed and are wanting to plumb the slider, there should be two screws near the bottom of the door sides and two screws near the top. In order to turn the bottom screws it may be necessary to relieve pressure from the top screws and slightly lift the bottom of the door. Adjust the door so that it is parallel to either the stationary glass or the side frame, whichever side has the locking mechanism. LEVEL equalls left to right.....so place door in a bed of silicone greater than the amount the existing floor is out and shim the appropriate side up until the top of door from left to right is level PLUMB is vertical....... top to bottom and left to right with in one side of the jamb;;;jamb must be plumb in both direction and on both sides of jamb within a straight lin of itself for it to be SQUARE....

What is the recommended distance between 3 hinges on door?
The top hinge screws want to pull out of the door and frame due to the cantilevered centre of gravity of the door. At the bottom hinge the opposite happens and the screws are not in tension because the lower part of the door tends to "push" towards the frame. It is therefore common practice to fit two upper hinges close to one another near the top of the door and have the bottom hinge by itself near the bottom of the door. (All the above assuming the door is rigid and have some weight that cannot be negligible). A third hinge fitted midpoint between a top and a bottom hinges serves no purpose other than evenly supporting a thin flexible door against wind etc.
