You took them out of the frames but they are still in some kind of frame right? Which allows you to fit them in between the wall studs?<br /><br />I am still a bit fuzzy on what type of window specifically you need for this. <br /><br />Also I am jealous you can just go get gravel and sand whenever you like.<br /><br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-72191372719457986512013-05-23T18:13:03.776-03:002013-05-23T18:13:03.776-03:00this comment, from our friend Linda, came up on th...this comment, from our friend Linda, came up on the original post which wasn't showing up on anyone's blogroll - and i have no idea why?!?!?!?<br /><br />so here is Linda's comment:<br /><br />I am so impressed with this post, pictures, and talent!<br /><br />My fantasy greenhouse will use my collection of large river rocks in my yard.My bricks I collect will be the paths in the greenhouse.<br /><br />Collecting the aluminum storm doors is easier because there is no wood attached--easier for me to lift. I suppose less framing might not make it as sturdy as yours will be. I have one set of windows, all one piece--7' X4--that is my pride and joy. <br /><br />I, also, planned to have one window to open on each side. Up high, I want to put a window and opener that is automatic, depending on the heat.<br /><br />Oops, did not mean to hijack a wonderful post. You give me hope. Now, where is my own J? <br />kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.com
