Earlier in the week we had an attempted delivery for the glass blocks, so thursday evening we took a detour on the way home to collect them from the delivery depot.
So today I got the glass blocks out, as you can see by the photos about a day will get you a glass block window. Its constructed with the bocks on extruded PU spacers that are glued in place with a funky smelling adhesive. It'll take a couple of days to cure properly, but even freshly built it's quite sturdy.
I'll probably grout it next weekend, but in the meantime I've got a few gaps & holes to fill around the frame. There's also about an inch gap at the top which I'll try to wedge a bit of wood into and then fill/plaster over. The blocks are slightly narrower than the wall thickness, and also don't run parallel to the wall (the wall is far from straight/vertical) so there's going to be some creative plastering going on in that corner.
