Hell back in the day I used to build post & beam type green houses using sliding
glass door inserts and 4 x whatever cedar beams-
insulated glass nominal size 2'6" x 6'8" just supported on the edges- upon which
we would stand while screwing down the caps.
Now granted my gut wasn't as big then but my shoulders were bigger so I was still
going w/ tools the best part of 200-220 lbs
that's eerie standing on a clear piece of glass a few stories up
detoxxing the poisons of my youth...
