glass block windows / walls

Why does it have to be an online source? The big box stores sell mortarless glass block, at least my Lowes does. The local prices could be comparable with online prices after you eliminate the online shipping costs.

I got the best deal at a brick yard, cheaper than the box stores. They were also more helpful

Great tip! Thanks.

Let me tell you how helpful my local brick yard was. I walked in there with the measurements of the space I wanted to build a glass brick wall. The guy told me how many I would need. I bought the amount he stated. It turns out that there were a couple of boxes of brick that were left over when I finished' I brought them back to the brick yard and they charged me a restocking fee. I told them it was their guy's fault for selling me more than I needed when I told him the measurements. I still had to pay the restocking fee. Would a big box store charge a restocking fee?
