Can anyone recommed a guide to install glass blocks? I have a window in the bathroom (in the shower) that I want to replace with glass blocks. I just don't know where to start. Thanks.

Most home improvement centers have a fold out brochure that shows just how to install the glass blocks. follow those directions to a T. Remember, the glass blocks are cheap, but all the little extra parts you need run into money.

Debbie,
A word of caution--most glass blocks provide more visibility than you might imagine. Check them out first but you might want to frost one side if the shower window can be seen from outside.

Hi.

I picked up a very cheap video at Home Depot....$10 by Corning. It showed three different methods for installing glass blocks. Makes it look pretty easy and doable!!! Good luck!
