I have been asking for a green house for years. So this is his next honey do project. I will post pictures for you when he is done.

I told the window man to be careful with the old windows, they would soon be my new greenhouse. So excited to find this today and see that I am not the only one who thinks of these sort of things!

I didn't even know that we'd been included on Re-Nest, what an exciting honor! <br /><br />I would love to say that I used CAD, but I confess: I literally laid all of the windows out on our lawn, measured them all (and then wrote their measurements on a piece of blue tape on each window) and then just jiggered them around until I found the best combination to build each wall. <br /><br />I was channeling the beautiful greenhouses I saw here (www.heligan.com) when I was thinking about how I wanted it to look, though I was working on a far smaller, much less grand scale. <br /><br />You should take a look at our more recent posts-- they show more "after" pictures of the greenhouse as it is now. <br /><br />Thanks for coming by,<br />John & ChristinaJohn and Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567797704419911904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62788065835996682.post-49492492353530993382011-05-11T12:22:07.540-04:002011-05-11T12:22:07.540-04:00Found your blog via re-nest and am so glad I did. ...Found your blog via re-nest and am so glad I did. I think you've made amazing progress. How did you decide which windows to use where? Sketches on graph paper? Auto CAD? Did you use any particular references?<br />I, too, have a collection of rescued old windows and a dream, so I'm excited to watch your greenhouse come together.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462999427969343752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62788065835996682.post-72911803654456761242011-05-04T12:02:57.415-04:002011-05-04T12:02:57.415-04:00Thanks Carrie!

I have a couple old windows I rescued back in high school but not nearly enough to do this. It's going to look SO good.
