You checked Delta Glass?
I installed a tub shower and got a pane of glass from them at a fairly good price

Was gonna build on it but i decided to sell it instead and build a house closer to my few remaining relatives up on the north side. I'm selling it for $250, 000. (negotiable) but if anyone is serious about taking it before the year is over i'll give you for $225, 000.
My # is 386-5990, you can whatsapp me or call if you interested.

Not a good idea.
“Tempered glass is about four times stronger than "ordinary," or annealed, glass. And unlike annealed glass, which can shatter into jagged shards when broken, tempered glass fractures into small, relatively harmless pieces. As a result, tempered glass is used in those environments where human safety is an issue.”

There is laminated annealed and laminated tempered glass. Laminated annealed glass is normally used in windows and doors but not shower doors because of safety concerns. A person can fall into laminated annealed glass and trap a limb.carluva wrote:Laminated glass is also a very good choice for shower enclosures and not as costly as tempered. Many suppliers sell the laminated glass.

I built the ground floor which is fully completed to my two story house a few years ago. And as with some previous posters, the decking has started to leak. I want to just frame the upstairs (30 x 40 feet) with blocks (windows and exterior doors as well) and do a roof doesn't have to be fully sealed yet. Want to take my time and eventually finish the interior upstairs as budget permits.
What would be an estimate for this? And what would be considered in putting a steel frame instead of blocks/ or even prefab. Thanks

Thanks, the leaks are coming from the edge of the decking where the ground floor wall meets it. Honestly, checked out the guys who do the rubber membrane/bitumen to seal right along the edges which was about 20$ sq ft. But it would have been a temporary fix, so wanted to go up with roof and blocks.

If the crack is localized and doesn't cause structural issues, it can be chipped out and filled. To retard rust reoccurence, the rebar will require cleaning of the rust scale, treatment with phosphoric acid and painting with a high-zinc coating.Musical Doc wrote:pugboy wrote:take care the rebar in the upper decking dont start to rust and expand resulting in cracking of the slabdso wrote:Good day Tuners,

So if the decking starts to crack, is there any way to repair this? Or you'll have to do over a new decking?

I know there are dips and swings in the market that is tied to the economy. There are periods over time where it is very costly to build (from both a labour and material standpoint), but also the inverse (low cost materials and labour).
What is the macro view over the next 12-24 months for a ground up build?

Otherwise a section is removed to expose clean rebar, the rebar is tied back with 12 inches of overlap and the the section is cast.
If the repair is through the entire slab, supports have to be used and that is always messy.

Have a sheet of laminate glass to cut for some kitchen cupboard doors.
Anyone know if I can do glass alone for the doors? I have the wooden frame, but prefer the look of full glass if possible
