That's without a doubt, definately a bargin!

I remember several years back when a Mervyn's was replacing their display shelves and the wife and I loaded down our car with a crapload of 4mm glass shelves. Those things have literally moved all over the world with us. Someday we'll actually use them.

I, too, am in amazement. I can't say anything beyond what's been said before.

I'll keep refreshing this thread to see updated pics. Nice work.

At last! we have waited 1 week for this stealbeam (dont know if that word is right).
We had a Truck with a 27 m arm to put it on the top, its now 490 cm to the beam, we also rented a scaffold for safer work on that level

Terrific job If I was going to do that, I might as well call it a day. I know how you feel, exhausted it is. Enjoy the outcome in a few days and keep us up to date.

I am feeling rather guilty that I do not even detail my own car!

Outstanding work, effort and craftsmanship. Thank you for the great pictures.
