Getting ready to build a walk-in shower with one free standing glass block wall. Plan to use the supports that connect the wall and than put the ladder supports every other row. The glass block wall will be set on top of a curb built out of 2×4’s. The glass block will hang over the edge of the 2×4 to allow for shower pan membrane and mortar. The wall will be 5 feet long than take a 22 degree turn for another 2 feet. The height on the wall will be 80 inches. The question I have is will the wall be strong enough? Any other ideas on how to make the wall stronger?
Thanks Brent

My father and I were trying to install crown moulding on the top of his new cabinets. Needless to say, we were not successful. We were unable to determine the correct way to cut the inside/outside corners. I am looking for information ( book, magazine,etc. ) or advice on this procedure. Thank you.
*I want to build an American designed post & beam house with a flat roof. Is there any literature available on construction detail of contemporary post and beam? Also the roof overhangs the building by 6' all round and is flat with no visible gutter - How is rainwater dispersal acheived??
