Glass Prices = insane
Just got a quote for some pieces of glass for my DIY Eurobrace and overflow...
All are 1/2" thick glass, no polished edges or anything 1x 43 7/8"x3" 2x 19"x5" 1x43 7/8"x5" 1x43 7/8"x4 = $161.70 (this was so far the cheapest too!  )Anyone know where I can get cheap glass in 1/2" in a 4'x2' piece?

re cheap glass
glass prices are tied directly to energy prices.
The raw materials for most types of glass are relatively inexpensive but the energy required to process and manufacture good quality glass (not cheap bottle glass) is driving prices up. You could try giving Mitch at Interamerican in Calgary a call, but unless you enjoy waiting months and possibly even into the next millenium , I wouldn't recommend it. I have used a company called Entrance Technologies several times over the years with good results. They are usually good about giving a fair price if they have cutoffs left over from other jobs and when they promise something they have allways delivered. I haven't used them in a couple of years, but I'm sure it's worth a try. They are in the book (sorry I don't have # handy) Good luck  and let me know how it goes!cheers!
