Glass Block Lights Instructions - Link Posted
Comments (3)First, my safety speech. You only have one pair of eyes. Please, protect them from possible glass chips. Be sure to wear safety goggles when drilling the blocks. Eye glasses arent' enough for this job. You will need a diamond hole drill bit. For the strings of lights you will need 1/2". For the clip-in light you will need 1". You will need water to keep the drill bit and glass cool. Use a spray bottle or slow dripping water. Take it slow using gently pressure when drilling the blocks. I have not been able to find the bits at any Home Depot or Lowe's. I ordered mine from Harbor Frieght. They came in a set of 1/2' and 1". Some Home Depots and local glass shops will drill your blocks for a small fee. Just in case you really don't want to do this yourself.

Comments (7)Judy, try regular massages. I have had a stiff neck for years (not due to any disc disease that I'm aware of), but have started getting a massage every month. That along with stretching has made a world of difference. Four friends and I get together once a month for a "Spa Chicks Night". We have found an esthetician and masseuse who come to our houses (we take turns hosting) and we each get a facial and a 25 minute massage. With tip it costs us a total of $60.00 each...and the hostess is free! Anyway, glad you're dooing better. I have been using our hiatus to get a jump on the remaining blocks. Finished 2 yesterday and I hope tofinish the rest this week. Sue...See MorePlease post pics of your ButcherBlock table/island
