| | 22 May 2008 04:23 AM | | Chris: My island has not seen glass yet and will be done only after other projects are done first. The island will be glassed on all sides and have a hatch cut for arming later. Will need help glassing this one though. | | | |

John, you can glass in my basement. I now have an exhaust fan rigged up for the fumes, but if it nice it can be done outside as well and then brought in after the fumes have started to dissipate to cure completely. J | | | "There it is again...kind of a BOOM sound" -short lived Allied lookout | |
