Step-By-Step Instructions Of Glass

  Glass - How to Buy It A homeowner can get a lot for his money or a little when he buys glass for windows, doors or partitions. But if he knows which glass will do what, and how to buy it, he won't pay double or triple prices for plate glass when he could have used heavy sheet glass, nor will he waste money by ordering glass by the sheet when he could have used a case. Window glass, also called sheet glass, is the most commonly used in the house. In fact before glass walls and picture windows were used it was usually the only kind.

I remember squirming in my seat as I watched my father squirming in his to a much greater degree. The only thing he said that has stuck with me to this day was: "When it gets hard, don't touch it. Eventually it'll go down." (I subsequently learned through experimentation that if instead, I touched it at every opportunity, it'd still go down, but I'd feel great in the process!)
