Hey cob-o-renos.
Just came up with an elegant window treatment I thought I'd pass on. We
had a relatively wide arch built into the wall (maybe 3.5 ft. across by 1.5
ft. high) and a narrow arched piece of glass. (2 ft. across x1.5 ft. high).
We had planned to put in a window to fit the arch but put in the smaller
arch and cobbed to it using an old piece of soaker hose for a gasket. With
the thick wall, cobbing into the narrow arch from the larger one created a
really pleasant grotto effect window. It was a result of using what we had
but everyone that sees it comments on the pleasing shape.
Stay cool out there in the mud pits.
