Greenhouse: Greenhouses out of old windows!, 1 by franknjim

Here is an inside shot of one I built about 20 years ago using old aluminum framed windows. I had 16 of them so I designed the greenhouse around them. I used it for a year before I sold it to a carpenter that wanted it for his mother. It had gas heat, electric, water and telephone. I plan on building another one and hopefully will have it before winter of next year. Still unsure as to the style of what I will be building. I have to check with a friend who is always buying tons of old aluminum framed windows for use in his nightclubs to see what he has in his warehouse. I have already drawn up a couple of designs using clear corrugated roofing. I am thinking along the lines of an A Frame as we get heavy snow loads here. But due to city building codes it must be 200 square feet or less to be considered a yard building and under 12 feet tall. I have to jump through hoops in order to make it fit within the parameters to keep building inspections out of my greenhouse.
