If the person building the viv for you is competant in working with glass, then they should be able to drill a hole in the top or back for the cable to pass through.

As I have no idea of the cost of glass in the States or even local to you, I can comment on the price you have been quoted.

OK, first thanks for the reply and link. Second it should be stickied as well or link of the original post as it adds the full scope to the project. The only prob. is I have to wait for the money tree to grow in the back yard to get my wall full of ero vivs.

Darryl I remember this post months ago before I left on maternity leave and I have to say your finished vivs are amazing!! Thank you so much for posting the construction layouts with pictures as you constructed them.

I hope to some day make a viv myself and knowing that this thread is out here it will be a great tool to use.

Moore40- let me know when your money tree starting blooming, I'll be over with a chainsaw
