Sanding glass

Sanding glass

If you just want to take the sharp edges off you could use an 80 grit diamond hand pad. You can order these on-line, from stone and glass work tool supplies. Cost about $30.

Lintel Support question.

Lintel Support question.

Usually not, but I can’t see it being a huge issue in this case. The framers can always fit a new lintel to the outside if required and double it up.
