Skylight secondary-glass installation? We have a single pane, (very inefficient) skylight with both heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. We would like to install a second pane of glass as close to the first pane as possible for more energy efficency here in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. We have been told to contact a local glass manufacturer for residential glass. We have been told that they can sell us dead-light glass or laminated glass.

Where can I purchase the cheapest "ceramic glass" replacement piece for a smooth top stove? Kenmore Smooth Top Range/Oven. The glass top of my range is badly cracked. Sears charges $300 to replace the glass and $150 for installation. Is there a salvation yard, damaged appliance store, glass company where I could buy the part cheaper? Otherwise, it seems wiser to buy another stove/oven without a glass smoothtop.

Glass Tile Installation? So I want to put glass tile on my backsplash. I picked out the tile and I'm not sure if I want to call a professional. I've tiled before but never glass.

How to straighten crooked power outlets after glass mosaic tiles installation? My husband and I installed glass mosaic tiles few weeks ago. After having few contractors canceling on us, we decided to do it ourselves even though we had no experience. Many people convinced us that we could do it and it wasn't so difficult. We did our research for weeks (reading, watching videos, consulting experienced people, internet. etc.) But, no one told us about pulling the power outlets out before installation. We never did! When we were ready to put the outlet plates back in, we noticed our big mistake. There was grout surrounding the power outlets and few tiles in the way. My husband tried to remove the dry grout as much as possible without breaking the tiles. Still most outlets look crooked and not leveled with the plates. We don't know what to do. It is so sad that after working so hard and having a pretty decent result something like this ruins it!. Could this be fixed without breaking the tiles? Any recommendations? They will be greatly appreciated.

Should I choose retrofit or new construction windows? I have a 50 year old house with aluminum frames and stucco exterior. I don't intend to change the shape or size of the windows I'm replacing. Likely going to use the Simonton narrow-line series to maximize glass area. Assuming good installation, does one seal better than the other? How much more ongoing maintenance does retrofit require? Is new construction worth the 33%-50% more cost that I'm being quoted? Anything other factors I should consider in making this decision?

can anyone tell me any rough price for tempered glass ? I am doing some preliminary estimating for my dream home and I want to know the ballpark price of glass with or without installation. I want to go with an post modern feel using natural materials so I am going to wrap the glass all the way around the house on both levels so it is all stone and glass. I will use whatever dimensions are most cost effective. I would like between four and five feet in height but if it comes in 4x8 foot sheets i can lay sideways and get more bang for the buck. I just need to know what sizes are most common and how much per sheet (good quality!!!) any help is greatly appreciated. especially links to pricing sources. thanx for the input so far. i am just curious though I am not nearly ready yet. my dream house looks like it will run me upwards of 1.5 million as it stands now but i have way over estrimated on a lot of things so far and so I think I can trim that to a million even. (like i said DREAM house)

What is the origin of the first living cell? If one believes that a living cell can come into existence by coincidence, then there is nothing to prevent one from believing a similar story that we will relate below. It is the story of a town: One day, a lump of clay, pressed between the rocks in a barren land, becomes wet after it rains. The wet clay dries and hardens when the sun rises, and takes on a stiff, resistant form. Afterwards, these rocks, which also served as a mould, are somehow smashed into pieces, and then a neat, well shaped, and strong brick appears. This brick waits under the same natural conditions for years for a similar brick to be formed. This goes on until hundreds and thousands of the same bricks have been formed in the same place. However, by chance, none of the bricks that were previously formed are damaged. Although exposed to storm, rain, wind, scorching sun, and freezing cold for thousands of years, the bricks do not crack, break up, or get dragged away, but wait there in the same place with the same determination for other bricks to form. When the number of bricks is adequate, they erect a building by being arranged sideways and on top of each other, having been randomly dragged along by the effects of natural conditions such as winds, storms, or tornadoes. Meanwhile, materials such as cement or soil mixtures form under "natural conditions", with perfect timing, and creep between the bricks to clamp them to each other. While all this is happening, iron ore under the ground is shaped under "natural conditions" and lays the foundations of a building that is to be formed with these bricks. At the end of this process, a complete building rises with all its materials, carpentry, and installations intact. Of course, a building does not only consist of foundations, bricks, and cement. How, then, are the other missing materials to be obtained? The answer is simple: all kinds of materials that are needed for the construction of the building exist in the earth on which it is erected. Silicon for the glass, copper for the electric cables, iron for the columns, beams, water pipes, etc. all exist under the ground in abundant quantities. It takes only the skill of "natural conditions" to shape and place these materials inside the building. All the installations, carpentry, and accessories are placed among the bricks with the help of the blowing wind, rain, and earthquakes. Everything has gone so well that the bricks are arranged so as to leave the necessary window spaces as if they knew that something called glass would be formed later on by natural conditions. Moreover, they have not forgotten to leave some space to allow the installation of water, electricity and heating systems, which are also later to be formed by coincidence. Everything has gone so well that "coincidences" and "natural conditions" produce a perfect design. If you have managed to sustain your belief in this story so far, then you should have no trouble surmising how the town's other buildings, plants, highways, sidewalks, substructures, communications, and transportation systems came about. If you possess technical knowledge and are fairly conversant with the subject, you can even write an extremely "scientific" book of a few volumes stating your theories about "the evolutionary process of a sewage system and its uniformity with the present structures". You may well be honoured with academic awards for your clever studies, and may consider yourself a genius, shedding light on the nature of humanity. The theory of evolution, which claims that life came into existence by chance, is no less absurd than our story, for, with all its operational systems, and systems of communication, transportation and management, a cell is no less complex than a city.

Does anyone have any information about the Installation among the ruins on Via dei Fori Imperiali, Rome?

Does anyone have information on where I can find hardware for multi-panel bi-folding doors? The panels need to be glass and preferably wood framed. Is is cheaper to buy the hardware separate from the panels?

Is it possible to keep this do-it yourself project under $2000?

how to solve window in shower unit? 1954 house.Have a SPARE bathroom with a window in shower/tub. Currently do not use the shower. Have frosted window. I do not want to ruin the window mold and rot by taking a shower. Brick on other side. Need idea's. Could take the window completely out and block with brick or use a shower curtain (which I dearly hate this thought). I thought there could be a product to buy that installs such a problem. I even consider this idea, but unsure this would work. Use the new type glass block they now have and install this completely in the window. Yet unsure this will be a problem of mold or insulation issues. Surely there is a solution or a unknown installation window for such idea's. Any idea's or a product that solves my issue's?

2003 Cadillac Escalade driver-side mirror glass replacement? I need to replace the glass on the driver-side exterior mirror on a 2003 Cadillac Escalade as soon as possible. The enclosure is in perfect condition, all LEDs work and the motor works fine, all I need is a replacement for the glass part. Can anyone possibly place a link for a cheap part as such? I'm also assuming that it is the same mirror for a similar Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban; GMC Yukon, Yukon XL which may allow to be even cheaper. Also, if installation is easy, directions would be appreciated. Otherwise I can take it to a mechanic. Thank you very much. 110,000mi- out of warranty. Why are all the economists responding? I honestly don't care to hear about how much gas I use. The only time I use the truck is in the winter and when I'm hauling stuff or people. And in those cases, I'm still managing 19mpg which is damn fair for a 6.0-AWD ute of 03. Let's focus on the matter at hand. Please.

Is installing a urinal in my home a good idea? I am buying a home and would like to renovate the large bathroom to include a wall mounted urinal for several reasons. First because my house seems to be the congregating are for the family we have high traffic. Secondly because I want to save money on water. And thirdly because set at the right height I'm hoping will eliminate some of the mess that we have here (My husband doesn't put on his glasses when he goes pee in the morning...Enough said.) due to the much shorter toilet. Also, it seems like we both always have to use the bathroom at the same time and it wouldn't look cool for us to have two toilets in one bathroom and I don't feel like adding another. My Dad is a plumber and would do the installation for free... So the question is... Does a urinal save money in the long run on water? How hard are they to clean? Some people say the stink...Is this true? Also, any other information would be useful too... P.S. I'm a girl so I don't have much knowledge of urinals...That's why I'm asking. Thanks

Does anyone have experience with window films for security? I am thinking of installing window film on my home windows to deter burglars. These films are suppose to prevent the glass from shattering, instead when they are hit the glass stays in place. They would require someone to violently hit the window over and over before the window would break out of the frame. Do they really work? Many of the companies I found online require professional installation and a pocket full of cash. One company, ConcordWindowFilm.com sells just the film, that you install yourself, at a really reasonable price. Does anyone have experience with the window films from this company that they installed themselves? Their installation instructions look pretty easy, and I understand the film has to be anchored down with Dow 995 Silicone Structural Adhesive. Thank you for your advice.

Question for architects or commercial (non-residential) contractors? I'm curious about something. Every time I see a building, such as a mall, where there is an large opening between two floors of a building to allow the installation of an escalator, or a plant spanning more than one floor, there is an [approx] 18" glass barrier hanging around the edge of the opening in the ceiling, with fire sprinklers running alongside it. Is the purpose of this to create a "wall of water" to prevent a fire from climbing from one floor to another via these openings? That's my guess, but I don't know. Just curious.

Can i changed my mind on my custom made windows??? i signed a contract to have the windows installed in my home. They are custom made bay windows, now i wanted it changed to bow windows instead, they told me they can't do that because they already cut the frame/glass for bay window, i didn't receive the windows as yet still in factory..they told me i have to pay for the bay windows also for the installation even thought i don't want these windows, i don't know what to do :( i havn't paid for the windows, i dont have them in my home, why can't i just cancel it? or change it to something else, they want me to pay for the windows plus installation, can they do that?? thank you guys for responding i realized that i do have to pay for the bay windows, as it was custom made..that is fine..but why do i hav to pay for the installation?? if they are not going to installed it, i will pay for the window and try to see if i can sell it or gave it away what ever.. why should i have to pay the installation service when there's none???

PGT sliding glass door (pros only)? So after installing several(well maybe close to a hundred) of these units, my boss is reading the installation instructions and discovers the manufacturer requires a full bed of sealant under the threshold(obviously). But also the same between the head and the top of the RO. Question is how ya gonna do it without pushing the sealant out of the opening giving the correct 1/4 inch RO tolerances. Expanding foam is not an acceptable sealant. The extention is a logical solution although not very practical given possible variations in the gaps. At times we have zero tolerence.

Drivers side window installation help? Ok, so I just got a 94 ford explorer and the drivers window was busted out and so I bought the glass and when my boyfriend and cousin went to put it in, the window bar goes DOWN ok, but coming back up it will go about 2 inches and then snap to the top really fast. Is that because there is no pressure from having a window, or is it because the motor is broken? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

What industry to get into? I currently am a Business Administration Major with a focus in Management, working at a restaurant as a Quality Assurance Expeditor. I have been asked to move up in the restaurant (probably another store, part of a chain) for a management position. Problem is, I like the industry, but I am a devout vegetarian. I have enough problems working with the meats and such, but making it my career would be difficult. I am trying to find a venue to get into upon graduate (last year left, yay!). I am completely in love with the all aspects of business, particularly the operations level. I've thought about places such as Starbucks, my uncles glass corporation (installation and whatnot) but I can't find something I am passionate about. Any have any interesting suggestions to this conundrum? I don't want to get any specialized degrees (M.D., J.D. or otherwise) and I certainly have no interest in doctoral level work. Just an industry that I can find stability, work hours, good salary, ok quality.
