Hi all,
Well..on to the bathroom where I find myself awaiting the evaporation of the moisture that was sitting on the outside walls after removing old tiles and plaster (plaster....I thought I was finally done with metal lath..Urrgh!) I just so happen to have a 32" window box above the soon-to-be jacuzzi and would like to install glass block flush with the 4" tiles...Has anyone done this and if so is there anything I should watch for?
Thanks in Advance!

No fair, Derwood. You asked the same question on the "baths" forum, and I replied there.

Are you in Winnipeg? And is the ground not covered with snow there? Brrr.

The ground is always covered in snow in Winnipeg! What do you have ...like 4 ft of ice on the Lake! If you put the block in first..make sure you leave enough overhang, so that when you install the tile, it's flush with the block.

4 feet of ice!?!?!
We're lucky to have that in August!

We sometimes set the block in a little and then come up to it with radius bullnose (mud cap, A-4200). This makes for a nice, clean install. I don't think simply cutting the tils around the edges is going to look as finished.
