Listeners write in about removing masonry chimneys and ask about blocked ridge vents, deal-breakers with fixer-uppers, and flashing ledgers that are spaced from the wall.

How now, Mighty Sauron, that thou art not brought
low by this? For thine evil pales before that which
foolish men call Justice....
Hope to shout ... NO! I'm putting them in my bathroom right now and I'm always on the leading cusp of innovation.
I push glass blocks whenever possible, but nobody bites :(
A "walk-in" glass block shower can really look great, but they're rarely done. You need a big bathroom to do something like that anyway.
Not to big, take a look at the picture above, it's a fairly small bathroom, and fairly small "walk in" shower, no door anyway, about a 3' radius, bathroom was to small to take a decent picture of.
Very nice, I like the curve idea. Did you do that yourself?
No, I can't take credit for the design or construction. I manage the projects for the firm I work for. The design was done by a local architect and glass block installation by another company who specializes in it. The panels came pre-assembled in sections 4 blocks tall.
The most difficult part I had in the whole thing was making sure the people forming the shower base and the people making the glass block were both on the same page prior to fabrication.
That whole project turned out really well.
not at all, we typically only use them in bathrooms if the window is in the shower, but we've also used them as accents in finished space.
