Do not try this method of glassmaking at home. Wear a dust mask when handling silica sand. A charcoal fire fed with air from the bottom is hot enough to melt the combination of those materials into glass but not hot enough to make it truly liquid, so bubbles tend to remain and make the glass cloudy.
The cost of demolishing a home can vary significantly based upon multiple factors. An estimated range based on nationwide averages is $4,000 to $14,000. Some of the factors influencing the cost of a house demolition include location, size of the home, whether or not asbestos is present, and more.
1 Often any required permits are included in the demolition price, but if not it can be anywhere from $25-$100 depending on the size of the house, to several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on local rules. A homeowner separated a garage and attached sunroom from the rest of the house, then paid a demolition company $6,000 to tear them down and excavate down 6-9 feet (to prepare for a new structure).
