Lightbulb Nedd to buy some glass???

Need to buy some glass for my new iguana viv build, needed a couple massive peices of glass! Glass shops were generally expensive, £250ish but when talking about it to a mate he suggested going on ebay, find a double glazed window about the right size for one door and then taking it to a glass shop to split the two panes of glass and trimming to size!

I needed two glass doors, 7ft by 2ft, found a double glazed unit on ebay 10 miles away at the right size! unfortunately i missed the end of auction but it went for 99p and the glass shop would have charged £20 to split and trim to the right size!

Thought i'd mention this as people always seem to ask where to get the cheapest glass!

Hope it helps somebody,

Chris!
