Well, we hit a bonanza! I went by the Habitat for Humanity Thrift shop to look for windows and they had a huge amount out back. I was very excited so Wednesday I took my spousal unit and he was amazed. His eyes literally bugged out. Now he won't have to make all those frames!
Not only that, but the manager cut the price in half. We got one huge window, 4'X7', 2 smaller ones that will open for ventilation and match the big one. Then one large one where the left wall (in this pic) will slant up to the roof, a large crank-out by the entrance and at least one more. Of course, when we paint the frames, they will all look matched. Here is pic of the big window in place. It cost $5. I spent a total of $20.
Edited to say not to worry; the sizes will match when he's done. I hope darius sees this; she will get a big kick out of building methods, but if it works, who cares if it is not conventional construction?
