Hey diy, I know it's not up to code and stuff, but if it's

I'm sure they're ancient but there's a few houses in my city from the 30s and 40s that have that setup. I'd suggest looking at stuff from that time period, maybe.
Also you don't really need to bump, /diy/ is only slightly faster than /an/.

just get mortar, its super cheap. watch a youtube video about how to do it. glass block should have "modified" mortar, its more gluey and can flex a tiny bit.

I live in st louis. Glass block everywhere.
Thete is a special morter that you need to use.

Op here. To clarify I mean putting a plastic window in a frame of glass blocks surrounding it. So I'm thinking I would shim it and screw it into the shims, but was hoping there might be a better way to do it

That's going to look absolutely hideous.

You will need a lental for your large window or it will be crushed by the blocks.


Pic is of a similar idea but for basement and. Bathroom vents

What do you mean a lental? Can't find the meaning of the word anywhere. If you mean that plastic stuff in your picture lining the glass, how do you fasten the plastic to the window? Mortar? One of my friends suggested just window spray foam would work.

Misspelling. Should be lintel.

It is a structural member that takes the load of material above an opening for a door or window.
