Today I cut out the studs, sealed up original wood with primer/sealer, removed old header and cut out my holes for the new glass block. I installed a new header and framed out the opening. We have a barbecue to attend this evening but afterwards, I may work downstairs and miter and cut all of the channels for the glass block, possibly installing some tonight.

Outside wall with studs cut out.

Old header removed (what a chore) and old wood sealed.

New header installed and opening cut and framed out for new glass block.

View from the outside, temporarily with plastic barrier while we go hang with friends.

Tomorrow I will have the glass block installed, new bathtub installed and should get a lot of the mortar board and drywall installed. I have to leave the wall with all the plumbing exposed until Tuesday for inspectors, but I may start on the tiling or begin making my cuts Monday.

To be continued …
