It looks great!

I keep seeing a few designs from different people using old discarded windows.

We're replacing the windows next year in the house, looks like I know what they'll be going for!

I think it looks pretty good. If it does the job who cares what it looks like anyway?
I am doing the exact same thing with some extra windows I have laying around.

Boggy, I'm not laughing! I am cheering! Hooray for recycling..As long as it does it's job and didnt cost a lot your way ahead of the game..Nice job!

Keep collecting those windows and doors, and eventually if you decide..you can replace the shower doors on the end..And maybe eventually next in line will be a greenhouse!!

I have been collecting/ recycling glass windows and patio doors for 15 years. Hubby and I finally built my recycled unheated 12x18 greenhouse last spring..(.First we built a coldframe)..I love it...

Oh and a little tip when using as a coldframe..When you have plants in it and expect temps to drop real cold..add some jugs filled with hot water..It will keep temps above freezing..
