I am going to install a glass block window in my walkout concrete
foundation (In a bath I'm remodeling) I have asked several local
contractors for bids but it seems the job is too small for companies
in my area. I've had a couple of handyman types out last month but
none of these has even called back with estimates (We have called them
but never recieved return calls) So...

I am very handy myself and I was mostly wanting a pro to save me the
time and hassle. I'm doing a one block tall (8" by about 4' wide)
window just to allow light into the room over the shower. I don't
think I'll be running into load issues as I'll add a 2x psudo header
under the base of the first floor wall of my single story house.
Glass block will bridge between this and the concrete foundation.

Do I need more reinforcement? and any other advice on this would be
great. I've also thought of deepening the window to 2 blocks
(aprox16" still 4' wide) How badly would that effect the structure of
my upper story?) I need to start soonish. as I've wasted 2 months on
trying to get this done for me.
