Somebody up there likes me. Week before last I scored 7 33" X 89" double paned sheets of glass and tonight a buddy shows up with a bunch of bricks. I think there's a little over 400 of them. Any ideas for a cool projects? One piece of glass is going into a bigger solar air heater. I have a 50' length of plastic tubing that I use as a hot water heater so I thought another piece of glass could go to make a box for it so the water gets hotter.
So I have a load of bricks and 5 remaining pieces of glass. Oh, and a pile of lumber from the shed we tore down. Any ideas?

Mon, June 16, 2008 - 11:35 PMuse however many bricks it takes, with the lumber, to make 5 window frames for the panes of glass. Then, take the remaining bricks and start chuckin! Woohoo!.
Just make sure you lay down some bed sheets or something to collect the glass when it breaks. Wouldn't want to find any pieces the hard way. -

Wed, June 18, 2008 - 4:01 AMNot sure if you have enough material ("400" is more than a few bricks short of "massive"), but a design such as the one pictured below comes to mind:

Actual length of 2x4's in your pile of lumber could also be a limiting factor.
