About the glass.

Pretty simple project in some ways, but it was fun.
Curious how expensive it is vs other more common glass choices, and where would one find such glass at retail???Quote:

My counter displays routinely get knocked off the counter by folks who try to reach through them not seeing the reflection. :eek:
Doesn't bother me anymore. It did the first time or two.
BTW eldereldo - looks like you have done a great job on the casa. :yourock:

Couple o thoughts; could use some banking around the base to cut down on drafts, seat looks too cushy for an outhouse, but I am sure the porcupines will like it.Quote:

I just finished building a deck behind my house. It took a little more than a year working on it one to two days a week. It's western red cedar and a pressure treated frame. The decking is secured with EB-Ty hidden fasteners and the fascia and skirting were attached with a combination of liquid nails and finish nails so there are no visible fastners any where on the deck. The railing spindles where sandwiched between two 2x4s using hanger bolts that were then concealed under a 2x6.

Well I conceived and procured material but wife actually put it together. And when I write procured that means picked the rock from drive way, river banks etc.

got it wrapped with tar paper with the lower windows and the door in. spent 10 days on it, got it done up to the rafters completely on my own. no prior real building skills. still have to insulate, install a few more windows, wire, and side it, plus install the stove pipe. but the physical structure of our ski cabin is up!
Nice!... Where did you build this?

nope just like tile , thinset on wall and back butter esp. larger rocks. Seal before grouting and then again after ward. Really helped that just had done drive way , 16 loads of pit run. Got the idea form tile store as you can buy sheets of river roc mounted on sheet. Now these are gauged so could be used on floor. I have seen these used on a shower floor but even though natural don't look like it as there are "lines" between sheets. You could collect for floor application but would have to be anal about thickness. Doesn't really matter for backsplash within reason.Quote:
