YES, i am interested in the glass...from what i have heard, epa has  
put the fear of lead into everyone and my sources for old windows with  
gorgeous glass are now required to toss the sash into a 'hazardous  
waste' dumpster for special processing...that being said, i'm not sure  
about resale from folks like habitat or recyle outlets...

i'll meet you at midnight in the alley behind the old graveyard for  
transer (!)...

thanks......
