More Progress


Picture after glass was almost complete and door is on.


The whole glass "thing" is a long story. Basically, the idea of buying an old sliding glass window and taking it apart to use for the shed was kind of a bust. The glass panels were sealed together as double-pane with some kind of black tar-like goo. It was comically hard to get off the edges of the glass and when I finally did, it got all over my clothes and hands (turning my face black when I accidentally rubbed it).


So, after all of that, I decided to just buy it by the square foot which was not that much compared to the hassle of making the old glass work. I also bought separate panels for the top from Home Depot whaich are plexiglass. They really look too "plasticy" to me so if I had to do this all over again I would just buy the tempered glass pre-cut to the size needed.
