My Mom recently had all the windows replaced in her sun room and had asked me if I wanted any of them. Well, none would fit the window openings of my house but I never turn down free good salvage. So yesterday I went and picked up nine 3' x 5' windows that'll become the walls and door to a 9' x 9' greenhouse. I'm gonna build it on the North fence of my back yard using the fence as the 4th wall which will also get several layers of clear plastic sheeting. I plan to use cinder blocks and/or 4" x 6" and 4" x 4" to bring the total height to at least 6.5'. They're all double pane glass which is just too sweet for a greenhouse. One window has both top panels cracked but I can take that out and use one from the bottom to replace one on top and have that as my door until I get plexiglas to make all double pane again. Or perhaps I'll get the plexi when I'm out buying the lumber I'll need for the frame and clear fiberglass or plastic roofing sheets I'll need for the roof.
As I was unloading the windows from truck to back yard I saw and caught a huge buck green anole lizard. We're expecting some severe weather here tomorrow so I chucked him into a gallon jar w/ holes poked in the lid for safe keeping.
I need to get the windows into my storage building before the rough weather moves in but that shouldn't take more than 10 minutes as I've already made space in the shed.
