That is a really cool idea Devil. Privacy might get to be an issue at times, but that can easily be addressed. I just happen to have about 4 or 5 window sash you can have for a start, I had used them for a Hot Frame years ago. My neighbor has several more that he will be happy to through in as well. We probably have 50 to 60 sq ft of glass wall here. Its yours for the taking. Just get your land and your go to go.

Great suggestion Manny. We have a company that replaces windows in our town and I am sure that they would also have an abundance of old windows to dispose of some place. The windows that they would be disposing of would most commonly be single pane but that would work for a Green house effect at your home Devil. Have you tried to use the doors in any other way many? Hot bed, mini greenhouse, any other novel ideas?

My brother used to work in construction, and he hated to see good windows go to the dumpster. I have about 15 linear feet of French casement windows that he salvaged from a job. He's also got 8 sliding glass door from a hospital renovation (4X8) that he's holding on to until I get closer to time to build.

DB, until you find the spot where you want to put your roots, collect photos and drawings of the things you like. A folder of papers (or website pictures) is a lot easier to tote around than the stuff you might get an incredible bargain on but don't have a place for just yet.
