Great Glass Galore Is Now Back Open January 12, 2022
By Linda Ehlers - January 12, 2022
GREAT GLASS GALORE IS NOW OPEN
JANUARY CLASSES CANCELLED
Luckily, our smoke damage wasn't as bad as neighboring houses due to the good quality windows we put in. We've been able to do some of our own smoke mitigation with ozone machines and HEPA purifiers. We are changing the furnace filters frequently till we have the HVAC system cleaned on January 21st and do not smell any smoke in the house.
Customers are welcome to come by to purchase supplies and glass, or drop off items to be fired. You can also pick up or drop off on my front porch, if you prefer to do that.
However, I am cancelling the rest of January classes till we get the HVAC cleaned.
Thanks for all your support and understanding.
