i'm just wondering if glass and cement have the same expansion factor in hot/cold weather
=======> if not the house won't last very long
for example steel and concrete have the same expansion factor

i know what you mean, but didnt kno steel and concrete were the same ? but as glass is made from silica sand and other elements/ingredients i am guessing its prett close to stone.

it's not stainless steel they use in concrete
for that reason every steel bar that's inside must be atleast 5cm
(about 2 " i guess) surrounded by concrete or else it will rust and cause concrete "cancer"
this is because after 5cm of concrete , air can't pass true anymore .
and no air means no oxidation

i dont know about that, there is too much chance of airbubbles and a little shake would knock holes in the side of the house. lets hope they dont live by a road
