Masona, Yes, that helps immensely. Thank you. Looking at that picture, if a small puddle of water formed at the bottom of the DG unit, where would it run out to? Or should I create some drainage channels in the Glazing Bead to allow such moisture out? Thanks again for your help...

Foxhole, Thanks. Although - alas - it's too late to buy made-to-measure ones as I have already purchased the wood and started work ... ! Forgive me for being thick, but how do the glazing blocks work, and where would the water collect that would allow the glazing units to sit in them...
