I picked this up last weekend for nothing they wanted it out of the house taking up too much room. anyway I got it home, it's heavy as hell and 1/2 inch thick glass. I'll posted pics. as soon as i got home i took pics about an hour later i took more of what I done.


down here things seem to be a bit more expensive but I called on Monday and found a piece of glass the size i need for 170.00 with tax and they will cut the edges so they won't be sharp. the glass was supposed to be here on thrus. but it had a chip in it so the girl working at the glass store didn't accept it. so it should be here on tues. so I'll post more when I get done..

it's costing you 170 for that glass?

I think that's what he said... do you have a point?

it looks to be around 6 feet by 30", which would be around 15 square feet. Sounds like a pretty decent deal for 1/2" glass from a window shop.
 
the tank is 6 foot by 30. I could only find one place near me other than that I would've had to drive an 1 hour or more to get it. I remember a few years back it was a lot cheaper. but with gas being so high (well coming down now) i think it over inflated everything. but I got the tank for free. and my way of buying used tanks is a dollar a gallon. so I'm just about there all I have left is the silicon.
 
ahh I see. I forgot, 1/2 thick. damn expensive, still.
 
update. no glass yet. they forgot to put it on the truck today.. so now I have to wait to Thursday... O'well I guess...
 
If they agreed that it would be provided for you on a certain day and now it's a week gone by, I hope they give you some kind of discount.
